My novella "Escape to Bird Island" is live over at The King's English. It's sort of a road story about superhero sidekicks, bird calls, dimensional stacking, lions and spiders and agoraphobia. Oh, and they've got a .PDF option over there for easy downloading or printing. Check it out.

So, I'm good to announce that Superpowers is going to be published in the UK by Vintage Originals. Check out those covers! Gorgeous stuff. I'm going to be working with Beth Coates, who has great taste, obviously. W00t!

My copy of the latest Locus arrived yesterday, with my ugly mug right there on the Deals/Announcements/Milestones page, right next to Ted's. Woo-hoo! I need a better picture, though.

May I just say WOW. My first ( Read more... )
