Ruler Reissue

A new trade paperback edition of my 1993 historical novel Ruler of the Sky will be published in 2006 by iBooks.

A New Year

I addressed the issue of the alleged "war on Christmas" here last year, and that whole phony controversy has only become more heated and ludicrous since then, so I'm dodging it altogether by wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

A New Story

After too long an absence from its pages, I've sold a new story, "After I Stopped Screaming," to Asimov's Science Fiction. A glimpse at the inspiration for that story can be found here.

Hurricane Katrina Relief

Links to organizations aiding victims of Hurricane Katrina, and one of the best sites I've found with such information, are here, at Billmon's Whiskey Bar blog.

Update (9/26/05): Same goes for victims of Hurricane Rita.

Shortlisted

My story "Venus Flowers at Night" is a finalist for the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, given annually to honor the best science fiction short story of the year.
