An update!

Hello, everyone.

It's been a while. Too long, maybe. But that's just the name of the game. I've been off doing and making things, working my hardest on my craft and creating new things for you to enjoy.

I've got stories coming up in more than a few anthologies, but the one I'm most proud of at the moment is the story I'll have in Apollo's Daughters.

There's a Kickstarter (still going on right now, video below) for a project called Athena's Daughters that Silence in the Library is putting together. It's a collection of sci-fi and fantasy stories, all with female protagonists, and all written by some of the best women writing in sci-fi and fantasy. Well, Apollo's Daughters was a stretch goal at the $24,000 level (which was blown through in 10 days). It's a collection of sci-fi and fantasy stories with all female protagonists written by some of the best men in the genre. I was asked to curate the authors and I'm proud to say I'll have a story next to the likes of guys like Michael Stackpole, Aaron Allston, David Alan Mack, Aaron Rosenberg, Neal Shaffer, and many others whose stories I just adore.


There's still 6 days to go on the project and I hope you jump in and snag a copy of both collections while they're available.

I'm still chugging along, full steam ahead, on the two documentaries I'm in post-production on, and I hope to get them out for you to see as soon as possible. They're both fascinating as can be.

I've also just finished writing a short film version of a feature film I hope to be making at some point. It's based on a short story that can be found in my collection of short stories Man Against the Future.

 There's plenty more brewing as well.

I also have good news to report! The manuscript for A Children's Illustrated History is done and the illustration is complete. So we'll be moving into the design phase shortly and we're on track to deliver on time!

If you're interested in any of the short stories I have coming out, check the "Complete List of Stories" link. There's titles and info on all the shorts that are coming down the pike.

One of them is coming for free in the new Silence in the Library eZine, so sign up for the newsletter over there to find out when. Another is coming free through Big Shiny Robot! so be sure to keep up with things over there as well.

The other thing I've been doing is keeping up my column at City Weekly. You can check out the archive of my pieces there.

On the Star Wars front, my podcast, Full of Sith , is about to hit its first anniversary, and my columns on StarWars.com  are still going strong. I've also had pieces appear in the last 4 issues of Star Wars Insider, the official magazine of Star Wars fandom.

There's plenty more coming, but this is a lot for now. Thanks for all your support of both myself and my writing over the years.

The Way It Is

            The whistle signaling quitting time was always his favorite time.  It was the high water mark for the rest of the day, representing that first moment of freedom matched with the highest level of energy he’d have for the rest of the night.  He turned his dirty earth-moving machine off, ceasing the rumble in his seat and in the engine.  Quietly, he pulled the earplugs from his ears, and collected his gloves and cooler.  The cooler held remnants of his lunch which had consisted of two ham and cheese sandwiches, a dill pickle, a bag of chips, and an apple.             Each step back to his truck, parked four blocks away, ached down into his core.  Shifting his weight right, he could feel the burn on his ankle and knee.  Shifting his weight left provided the same effect on the other side.         ...

The Scoop

So, I've decided to save the below "About Me" in amber, trapped in time, as it were and sort of start over from scratch since the mission of the site is a little different now. I'm making a go of earning money for all of my writing. I'm working to convert my body of work here into something that will provide me some means of income that will justify how much time I spend writing in a day. I would really appreciate if you'd consider buying some of my stories and spreading the word. So, enjoy the slightly outdated bio about myself below, I'll start a new one up in its entirety soon. 03/2010 Me, circa February 2009. I'm posting short stories up on this blog. At least once a month I'll do so. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I used to write short stories quite often, but my prose petered out after I became a screenwriter. This is my way of relearning prose. If I didn't publish it here I probably wouldn't publish it anywhere. If I didn't p...

The Hope of Humanity

This is but a sample of this story.  The complete version is available in my print collection  Man Against the Future.   From there, you can order signed copies, or buy it for the Kindle or the Nook. The year was 2081 and so many of the social problems humans had faced over the last hundred years were still a pretty big problem. Most people were still poor, corporations still ran the government, and politicians were constantly caught with prostitutes of both sexes, living and dead. When politicians weren't blowing each other's personal lives completely out of proportion for political gain, they were starting wars with other countries. Sometimes, they would even start wars with people inside their own country, but those were usually ideological. Perhaps the biggest and worst change was that the polar ice caps had melted and much of the Mojave Desert was now prime beachfront property, and the air across the globe tasted like you were sucking on a tailpipe. As pressi...
