  • A Crow Moon Rises

    A Crow Moon Rises

    I’m slowly putting together the next book. This one is going to be a little different. Like Warp Resonance, it will be a collection of short stories rather than a single work. However, Crow Moon will be focused on my fantasy works. The stories will range from romantic to very dark, and I’m arranging their…

  • Ghosts of Malta

    Ghosts of Malta

    The ghosts in this anthology are the stories themselves, haunting the tiny, indomitable island.  Ghosts of Malta is a collection of tales set on Malta, from authors scattered around the world, and a history you won’t want to miss by the LawDog himself.  I have a story in this one, along with many other great…

  • Open Call: Hunting Anthology

    Open Call: Hunting Anthology

    The idea has been batted around for a year now: an anthology of hunting tales.  Objections have been raised. Hunting stories are, by their very nature, meant to be performative. Alcohol is frequently involved. Fiction is at the edges of all of them, intended or not. Since they are usually spoken, they run short –…

  • Tales Around the Supper Table

    Tales Around the Supper Table

    I have a story in this anthology! I was honored to be invited to join, it’s a group of phenomenal Texas-based authors. The stories run the gamut, as they would if you were sitting ’round the supper table talking and telling tales. My story in it is a conscious loving homage to H. Rider Haggard,…

  • Anthologies Galore!

    Anthologies Galore!

      This last year was weird, and good, and, well, weird. I wrote a lot more than you all saw from me, but I couldn’t talk about it. Now, finally, I can start to reveal some of the secret projects. Three of them, to be specific. I don’t think there was any planning in this,…

  • Trouble is My Business

    I’ve been reading a collection of stories by Raymond Chandler the last few days, when I got stuck on the writing and wanted to soak up a little more flavor. I’d gone through all the Spillane we own (that is, none of the Mike Hammer books) and I’m disinclined to shell out $6-7 each for…

  • Review: Minis

    Today I am going to do a… Hmmm, not sure what to call this. A bunch of mini-reviews, I guess. I’m up to my elbows in writing Dragon Noir, 1200 words already this morning, when I looked at the clock and realized I’d better stop a moment and do the blog. I’d planned to review…

  • Gentlemen, You have no Idea why People Read…

    This is a guest post by a friend and very articulate man, who posted this letter he sent to the editors of Analog, explaining why he felt compelled to cancel his subscription and end a three-decade relationship with that venerable SF institution. I will add to it that he touches on a theme you have…
