Odds and Ends: An Update

A writer I know describes posting on a blog as "speaking into a void," but in the hope that someone out there might be listening, here's an update. I finished a new story of some 8,000 words, "His Two Wars," and it's been paid for and scheduled for an anthology that hasn't yet been published. I also wrote an introduction to a new collection of short fiction by my friend and fellow writer, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. If you're unfamiliar with Quinn's writing, here's what Peter Straub has to say in praise of her work: "Chelsea Quinn Yarbro is one of our finest writers and craftspersons, incapable of a sloppy sentence, a slack paragraph, or a fuzzy thought." 

And my novelette "Dream of Venus" (2000) is apparently going to be translated into Estonian, my first publication in that language. More about these bits of news when I have more details. In the meantime, I'm writing what may turn out to be a piece of short fiction, although I've had short stories grow into novels in the past.

As for news that isn't so vague, Open Road Media, which has almost all of my fiction available as e-books, has launched an "author follow" feature, so if you are interested in following me there, go to this page and click on "Follow" for news from them about my books and writing. All three volumes of my Seed Trilogy are still available from Tor.
