What’s Next

September 15, 2011

I’ve been working to get an ebook version of Hardwired up and available for your digitized pleasure. Here’s the first draft of the cover.  (It’s a classic, if you ask me.)  And of course I couldn’t resist the Zelazny quote, because, y’know, if you’ve got a Zelazny blurb, you really want to use it. This […]

Procurement

September 13, 2011

When I wrote my one and only Star Wars book,  I gave some thought to the Empire’s military procurement procedure, something I suspect had not actually been done before.  I put my thoughts into the mouth of Han Solo, as he contemplates the Empire’s response to the invasion of a bunch of blue meanies called […]

Reviews Too Late: Treme

September 13, 2011

I would most likely have a deeply embarrassing fanboy moment if I ever met David Simon.  I’d babble and drop whatever I had in my hand and maybe do a Snoopy Dance.  I would almost certainly drool.  And the reason is that David Simon is such a damn good writer. And of course David Simon […]

Ghosts

September 11, 2011

I think it was when ABC News started broadcasting messages from the 9/11 dead that I made up my mind.  I won’t be watching the news on the tenth anniversary, or watching or listening to any of the ten-year commemorations. ABC is, after all, one of the country’s premiere news organizations, but apparently they can’t […]

Well Whinge

September 10, 2011

  We’ve had two days of clouds and rain, and that’s lowered the temperature enough so that this was the first day since May, maybe, when we haven’t had to turn on the AC. I hope that the rain is raising the water table.  We live in the country, and that means our water comes […]

A Day Without Email . . .

September 8, 2011

  . . . is like a day without being bitten on the hand by a chihuahua. In other words, a day without something that is vaguely painful and annoying but not in any way harmful or dangerous. For some technical reason, never quite deciphered, I couldn’t log onto the Internet from my Atlanta hotel, […]

Dragon*Con

September 8, 2011

(Dragon*Con sort of wants the asterisk to be there, and I sort of don’t.  So I’ll put it in the first sentence and the title, and you can take it as read from this point onward.  Right?) Typographical issues aside, My Horrible Month of Travel is now over.   During the last thirtysome days I’ve got […]

Kicking It Old School

September 1, 2011

  Via Ian McDowell, this juicy trailer from Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame. Directed by my onetime creative associate Tsui Hark, with fight chorography by Sammo Hung, and starring Andy Lau, Carina Lau, and Tony Leung (Ka-fai).  The movie was nominated for thirteen Hong Kong Film Awards and won six. I’m […]

Dragoncon Schedule

September 1, 2011

I am off to Dragoncon at the unfortunate hour of 6:25am.  Fortunately it’s a nonstop flight and I can sleep the whole way.  This is the fourth convention in a row for me, and I’m surprised I can stay on my feet. Here’s my schedule.  I seem to be mainly on alternate history panels, but […]

Mostly Complete Ebook List!

August 30, 2011

  I’ve updated my ebook list to a nearly-complete status!  So if you’re looking for my work in e-formats, check there. Because some of my stories are available in anthologies that have been e-formatted, new stuff is popping up all the time, so the list can’t possibly be complete.  But in the meantime, feel free […]
