Apparently you need a paid account to see the actual review, but I got this in my inbox today from my editor on that anthology, the handsome and hard-working Bascomb James:

An attempt to harness the magic of mid-century science fiction is mostly fun, with a few exceptions, in Bascomb’s second Far Orbit collection. There are a few gems among the 13 ( Read more... )

The second "Far Orbit" space opera anthology from World Weaver Press, "Far Orbit: Apogee," is now out. The very first story I ever sold (to Renard's Menagerie, now sadly defunct) is reprinted therein for your amusement. It's called "The Affairs of Dragons," and it's an adventure wherein my spaceship crew is hired to haul a clutch of dragon eggs to ( Read more... )

I was poking through my publisher's Facebook page last night, when lo and behold, what accosted mine eyes but... my novel! I am so in love with that cover, you guys, you have no idea. The ebook is now available for pre-order and will be released Sept. 28. The dead-tree version is coming out sometime in October--unless you come to Salt Lake ComicCon ( Read more... )

I helped howardtayler and sandratayler pack and ship the new Schlock Mercenary books today. They had about two thousand books...and we got them all packed. Sandra's ( Read more... )

Behave, damn you!

In other news, I made a new icon today:

The October 2007 issue of Renard's Menagerie, with my story "Affairs of Dragons" in it, is live!

Now I need to figure out how many copies I need to order for myself...

I got my proof from Renard's Menagerie today and managed to read through it while Da Boy was doing seatwork for school. (Why, yes, we had school today. Yesterday was lovely, and today was forecasted to be rotten weather, so we swapped days. This is one of the many advantages of homeschooling: flexibility. I don't have to keep him cooped up on ( Read more... )
