The Kind of Comment Any Writer Would Like to Read

I haven't signed up for Google Alerts. I don't hit the Internet looking for stuff about myself, because I'm the kind of person who expects the worst and who is insecure enough to fear demoralization.

I first found out about Nick Bostrom some years back after reading his "proof" that we're all living in a computer simulation.  He continues to be provocative in a recent interview for the Atlantic about what he considers to be the underestimated possibility of human extinction.

Ruler of the Sky Available as an E-Book

My historical novel Ruler of the Sky is now available in electronic formats for nooks, Kindles, and other e-readers, and a good thing, too, given its length of over 700 pages. You can read more about the book here. It's also still available in trade paperback from various booksellers.

Earthseed in Trade Paperback

Earthseed will be out in trade paperback from Tor on February 28, but my first copy arrived here yesterday, along with CDs from Blackstone Audio of both Earthseed and Farseed. Earthseed's available through all the usual channels, but if you can, get it at a local independent bookstore.
