My future wife can do WHATEVER she wants–drag me up to Alaska or Antarctica to get married, make us move in next door to her parents, force me to hold down a real job until the writing takes off… …I just ask that they play this song at our wedding.

Another excerpt from Genesis Earth
I made a lot of progress on the latest draft of my novel Genesis Earth last week, and figured it was time to post another excerpt. This one comes from chapter 4, when Michael and Terra arrive at the star system they’ve been sent to explore. A slightly truncated version of this excerpt won first… Continue reading Another excerpt from Genesis Earth

Yay for work!
So I found a job today, which should keep me in the black until November and help me save up enough money for World Fantasy 2010. The job is at a warehouse for a locally based costuming company. It only runs through October, but that’s perfect because the training for the wilderness job starts the… Continue reading Yay for work!
