North America, and the World!

September 6, 2013

The publisher has reverted my rights, so I’m happy to announce that my ebook of Implied Spaces is now available throughout the world via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords. iBooks, Kobo, Sony, etc. will follow shortly, as soon as Smashwords finishes their “review,” which has been pending for a while now.  (If your life’s ambition […]

Mediated

September 5, 2013

One thing that most struck me about Worldcon was how much personal interaction has become mediated, if not dominated, by social media. I frequently found myself in a group of people who were looking at email, checking their twitter feed, browsing Facebook, and sharing cute cat pictures and amusing Youtube videos, all while trying to […]

Grand Master

September 4, 2013

Frederik Pohl died yesterday, at the age of 93, just hours after he made a final post on his excellent blog.  You might say he went down writing, an inspiration we can all take to heart. The news came as the San Antonio Worldcon was into its last hours, which left us little time to […]

To the Alamo!

August 28, 2013

I’m off to San Antonio, home of the Alamo.  Where it will be 99 degrees in the shade and 85% humidity, which would normally make me really grumpy, except that I’ll be at Worldcon, so I won’t care. In the meantime, please enjoy this video.  Fortunately this comes from Japan, where sadism in the name […]

On To Helsinki!

August 23, 2013

So there are three cities bidding to host the 2015 Worldcon, and one of them is Helsinki.  And I totally want the Worldcon to go there. Because why?  Because Helsinki is cool.  (In this case, sort of literally.) Helsinki is a beautiful modern city, it’s in a gorgeous setting in the Baltic, it’s within easy […]

Droughtland

August 20, 2013

The ecosystem I’m living in is slowly dying.  Climate change is just killing it. We’re in a drought that’s lasted since the early 1990s, with the respite of a few wet years around the turn of the millennium.  (While I’m aware that every dryer-than-normal year isn’t necessarily, officially a “drought,” the cumulative impacts of many […]

Last Century’s Millennium

August 19, 2013

Here we find an amusing video from the 1930s predicting fashions for the Year 2000. You might find it pretty silly, but these predictions were a lot more on the money than the ones that said we’d get flying cars. (And love those cantilever heels!)

Year Two

August 15, 2013

It’s been a little over two years since I started publishing my backlist in ebook format, so I thought I’d update you all on how the indie-pub revolution has been going from my perspective.  (For the first year of this experiment, see this article which I wrote about it.) Firstly, almost all the novels are […]
