Introduction

(4/4/08) The first of my Driftwood stories has sold! "A Heretic by Degrees" will be appearing in the Intergalactic Medicine Show.

(3/10/08) If you'll be attending ICFA next week, there will be a small number of MNC ARCs in the book room, and I will be doing a reading from the novel. (Check the errata notice at the con, as I suspect this has been arranged too late for me to be listed in the regular program.

(3/7/08) As detailed here, there's been a change of plans: my next novel will be And Ashes Lie, an Onyx Court book set during the Great Fire of London. (The Victorian book will still be happening, just not right now.)

(2/11/08) I seem to be on a roll with the short stories lately. Mike Allen, editor of the upcoming anthology Clockwork Phoenix, has bought my Mesoamerican fantasy story "A Mask of Flesh."

(1/28/08) Today I learned that Paradox is buying "The Deaths of Christopher Marlowe".

(1/11/08) And, replenishing the supply of stories on their way to publication: "Beggar's Blessing" has sold to Shroud, the same folks putting out the Beneath the Surface anthology that will include "Kiss of Life".

(1/6/08) Hmmm -- I appear to be failing at my duty to announce when short stories get published! "Selection" and "Nine Sketches" both hit print a couple of months ago, and "Lost Soul" just went live at the Intergalactic Medicine Show, where you can buy the whole online issue for just $2.50.

(4/30/08) The last of the MNC excerpt is up! Several scenes there, so keep clicking through. (Or you can start at the beginning.)

(4/28/08) A new addition to the Business essays: "A Glossary of Business Terms."

(4/23/08) For the Second International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day, I have posted my flash story "Silence, Before the Horn." Last year's contribution, "Calling into Silence," is still available.

(4/20/08) Now posted: the interview conducted by my journal readers, regarding (you guessed it) MNC.

(4/10/08) I promise that someday I'll have updates for this site other than MNC goodies, but not while I have this grading to get through. In the meantime, have more excerpt. (The beginning is here.)

(3/31/08) You can view some of my photos from my research trip to London on Flickr.

(3/21/08) The next portion of the Midnight Never Come excerpt has been posted.
