Two New Collections

There are two anthology collections that my work is appearing in over the next couple of months. This is me telling you about them.

The first is a very exclusive, limited print run anthology that features my story alongside stories from Timothy Zahn, Aaron Allston, Michael Stackpole, Janine Spendlove, Sarah Hans, Steve Saus, Don Bingle, RT Kaelin, and I could just keep listing them. This is a collection of short stories by authors who are guests at "The Library" at Origins Game Fair. This book has all new, never-before-seen stories from all of us and will only be available in print at the convention. It's also limited to 500 copies.  I'll be getting my hands on a few of them, but expect it to be a rare commodity.

But Origins is the best place to get it signed by everyone involved.


"Time-Traveled Tales" is almost 200 pages and contains 19 stories.

The story I have in this collection is called "Deep Salvage" and is a sci-fi/thriller sort of story. I'm very proud of it.

The next collection is a textbook of sorts for writers about building worlds.


Edited by Sabrina Klein, this collection is chock full of scholarly essays about the art of building worlds for your books and is called "Eighth Day Genesis".

As soon as more information is available about when and how to get it, I'll be sure to pass that information along. Both collections are going to be worth getting your hands on and I'm very glad to have been some small part of them.

In the meantime, you can still pre-order Operation: Montauk. You won't regret it. Promise.

Salt Lake Comic Con 2017 Schedule

It's time for another year of Salt Lake Comic Con and another hectic schedule for me. But! that doesn't mean it's not a helluva lot of fun. I hope you're able to join me at any of these panels. Especially if you like Star Wars. And please, please, please come to my signing and visit. Get some books signed. I'd love that enormously. Here is my Thursday schedule: Everything here is a highlight. That first panel about behind the scenes of the prequels is with Pablo Hidalgo and I'll be asking him questions about what it was like to be there on set for most of the prequels. Then I'll be asking questions of Michael Biehn, who I've been a fan of since I was a little kid. Aliens and Terminator were favorites. If you want to ask him a question, please hit me up on Twitter with it. I will ask it at the panel. And you don't want to miss Fauxthentic History's Infinity Gauntlet live episode. It's going to be soooo good. Here is Friday:

The Missed Opportunities of Days Gone By

“Hello?” I said into the phone, accepting the call from a number I didn’t recognize. “Hey,” the feminine voice on the other replied, as though I should know the sound of her voice. At a loss, I said, “Can I help you?” “It’s Brooke.” Her name stopped me. It couldn’t possibly be her. We hadn’t spoken in years, a decade perhaps. “Brooke?” “Yeah, Brooke Baker. This is Mark, right?” Jesus Christ. It was her. “Yeah, it is Mark. Brooke. Wow. How are you? It’s been a long time since… well… since anything.” “I know.” “So, how are you doing?” “Okay, I suppose…” Her voice belied her words, though. Something was up. “I… It’s just been so long and I guess I wanted to hear your voice.” “I don’t think I had a number for you. Ever. I offered a couple of times, but…” “I was a brat back then.” And that’s how a random phone call turned into a two-and-a-half hour catch-up session. We spoke of everything under the sun: people we still knew, how different we were, h

The End of an Era and a New Beginning

It's been a long time coming, but I think an upgrade to my web presence was long overdue. I began this blog in 2005 and it's served me well over the last 13 years. My goal in those early days was to write a short story every month. Back then, that was the only writing I was doing. This website, then called "Bryan's Short Story Corner," got me into a regular writing habit. One that I still maintain today. I hoped it would help me get eyeballs on my words and, looking back at some of those early short stories, I shouldn't have wanted any of those eyeballs looking. Today, my Patreon fills that void. There is a dedicated group of supporters there that help subsidize my ability to write short stories on the regular. After I started publishing books, this blog morphed into a place to talk about my projects and writing and it worked well enough for that for a long time. But now I have Twitter and Medium for those functions and they have much cleaner and easi
