20 books about the struggle against abusive systems and the hope for more hospitable societies for $25.

"A Better World: Indie Book Bundle"

Includes my 2024 novella: Their Village, Their Fortress.

"When a calamitous new weapon fells a fortress once considered invincible, one soldier rides home to deliver the terrible news. This journey is against orders, but he insists no village is too small to be warned of what's coming, even if he's not sure what they can do. He delivers an impassioned call to action, daring them to try. Reconnecting with his community involves reconsidering why he left it, and what he might regret having left behind; but he soon faces scrutiny when they realize something about his appeal doesn't add up."

Holy shit! Researchers at U. of Minnesota just made an artificial cell from purified components that will feed, grow, replicate DNA, divide, and even evolve by natural selection. I just downloaded it; I'm about to start reading it.

If you are trying to write science fiction, and there's one science research paper you should read this year, this should probably be it.

My latest blog post includes my schedule for #Readercon next week. I'd especially love it if people attend my reading from "The Eliminator" on Thursday, July 9 at 8 pm. This night only is free to the public, so any of my Boston peeps who aren't attending the conference can drop by. Marriott Boston/Burlington, One Burlington Mall Road in Burlington.

So, I was planning to get everything back in order after returning from travel at midnight last night, but post-dinner, I sat down with a story I'd begun before travel. Three hours later, I got to a "what's next" and was too tired to go on. The Vampire Lestat episode 4 in real-time like it was the 1970s! I'll get back to the story when I wake up tomorrow.

“Do you write with AI?”

No. I write with the skills I freaking hones by reading and writing and practice.

I learned to fly. Why on earth would I give that power away to an uncaring machine?

Watch out, my fellow creatives. I just got a lovely email saying how terrific my book is and how they'd love to feature it...

Except it's the book not published yet. Quite the prophetic miracle they've managed.

Stay safe, my friends.

I think of it as set in a Conan-style world, but it features a disabled pauper instead of a beefcake barbarian.
