A New Collection

Thanks to Centipede Press publisher Jerad Walters and my agent Richard Curtis, my year comes to a close with a contract for a comprehensive collection of my short fiction in Centipede's Masters of Science Fiction series. I am in superb company: Other volumes in this series feature Kate Wilhelm, Jack Dann, James Patrick Kelly, Fritz Leiber, Robert Sheckley, and Richard Wilson. A happier holiday season than I had expected!

A List.....

...with my book at the top of this list of "21 Books Like The Handmaid's Tale."  I'll add only that I'm in good company and these novels have their own distinctive merits. Not much else to post except that I am still writing but more slowly these days.

Another Cat Tale

My 1981 story "Out of Place," originally published in Rod Serling's Twilight Zone Magazine, has just been reprinted in the anthology The Year of the Cat: A Cat of Feral Insitincts, now available as a trade paperback and as an ebook from all of these ebook stores. 

Season of the Cats Ebook Is Now Out

My 2015 fantasy novel Season of the Cats, published by Wildside Press and set in the pre-pandemic times of the 21st century, is now out as an ebook. It's available exclusively from Amazon through Kindle Select for two months and will be out in other formats after that. Hardcover and trade paperback editions can still be purchased from Wildside Press.  Here's what I wrote about this novel a while back for John Scalzi's "The Big Idea."

"All Rights"

"All Rights," a short story of mine originally published in 1994, is now available as an ebook from Wildside/Black Cat, here.
