New sci fi anthology !!!

Today I’m actually on time!  Amazing!

My short story “Pressure” leads off a new sci fi anthology called At The Helm, which is for sale on Kindle today.  Below is the snappy description.  Here is the space battle cover art.  🙂

Interstellar journeys. Epic battles. Artificial Intelligence’s longing for meaning. Life as we know it, ending…

Sci-Fi Bridge is thrilled to present its first collection from bestselling authors and newly emerging writers. These stories span the near and far future. They transport you to worlds unknown. They examine today’s fears amid tomorrow’s technologies. From the far corners of the galaxy to the inner reaches of the human heart, the exciting stories in At the Helm will thrill, inspire, and make you wonder–do humans have what it takes to build a better future? Or are we doomed by our own failings?

The Strange New Land of OSTIUM !!!

I can no longer remember the last time I wasn’t late to a party!  🙂

Hard to believe I haven’t blogged since October.  Wow.  I’ve been up to my eyeballs in work.  More on that soon.  Meanwhile, here’s a fun new podcast from Alex Telander called Ostium.

Ostium is bout a secret town where no one lives with many doors that lead to different worlds in time.  Check it out!

In Keeping With My Chronic Lateness…

Here is my short story “Pressure” translated into German as Lange Augen on Pulpcore, a hot new webzine in the Fatherland.

That’s right.  The editor, Heiner Eden, released his translation in July.  I am just now bragging about it.  What a crazy year it’s been!   😛

Dankeschun!

Sweet new review for FROZEN SKY 3

The critics at San Francisco Book Review think good things about Frozen Sky 3.  Hooray!

Their acronym and my acronym make me want to say this an SFBR FS3, right?  My only quibble about their review is that while, yes, FS2 was a short novel and therefore a ‘novella,’ FS1 was a full-fledged novel and FS3 was a rather fat novel.  FS3 is well over 100K words.  It’s only 300 pages in print because we used a teeny small font and it reads even faster on a Kindle or an iPad or a phone because, you know, it’s a high-octane brain-curdling thriller.  Really!  Believe me!  It’s got heft!   😉

You can find the whole SFBR FS3 here on their website.

Now back to work on FS4
