For the third year in a row, I’ve got a book in the Parsec Awards. To be eligible for a Parsec Award this year the podcast had to have been made between May 1, 2008, and April 31, 2009. The only title eligible this year is Double Share, because I’m such a derelict I only [...]

Captain’s Share

Yes, I know. I’m remiss in posting regularly here. It goes better when i’m in the middle of writing. That means I have something to tell you and that’s a good thing. It goes less well when I’m not writing.
BaltiCon 43 was a blast and I can see now that I didn’t write anything [...]

BaltiCon 43

It’s almost here - The 43rd Annual Baltimore Science Fiction Convention. I attended for the first time last year at the last minute, but I’ve been looking forward to this year’s convention all year long.

Today’s the day another of the Podiobook authors hits the shelves. Seth Harwood’s crime noir saga is out today and in honor of that, he’s giving away these chapters of Jack Wakes Up in PDF format.

I’ve been meaning to put up a new post for weeks. A fan’s email this morning pushed me into the “omg, this is embarassing” mode so here’s a status report.
Cape Grace is still the next work in progress. I really want to fill that slot in before I go to Captain’s Share. My ideas on [...]

Chat Tea

It was my distinct honor to spend an hour or so on Tea and Chat talking about a variety of topics including the cuppa tea I’d just finished while waiting for some hardware problems to get resolved.
You’ll find the interview on Tea and Chat Epistode 23. If you’re not subscribed to this, go back [...]
