"Abandon hope all ye who enter here."
Weird how Dante anticipated Twitter. Even weirder how we all keep entering anyway.
Received copies of the reprint of Are You There, my first collection, which originally appeared from Golden Gryphon Press in 2009. Book has been redesigned, with some new material. It's a chunky 394 pgs.
Patrick Swenson at Fairwood Press is reissuing Are You There, my first collection, in a design that matches the new collection. Each has a cover by a World Fantasy Award winning artist. John Picacio for Are You There and Vincent Chong for The Whole Mess. Now all I have to do
Noticed that King's On Writing has been reissued. Back in another dimension of reality (2001) I was one of the winners of the writing-from-a-situation contest. It was a needed boost. Since then I've sold a lot of short stories and a few novels. Thanks @StephenKing !
Contract signed for a new story that will appear in Asimov's. My last story was "Dream Interpretation" back in 2021. The new one,"The Ledgers," is horror. Short stories require a whole different set of muscles from novels. It's good to exercise those muscles again. Feel the burn!

Bought in the 80s. Kept bouncing off the title story. Remained on various shelves in various rooms for decades. Once in a while I'd look at it. Decades. Tonight I finally read the story. It was good. The paper had turned yellow. The cover came off. When does my cover come off?
For Christmas I'd like this entire review printed on a t-shirt.

R.I.P. Michael Bishop. Wonderful writer and one of the kindest people I've ever known. Not that I knew him well, but with Michael even a handfull of encounters tells what kind of person he was. Besides talking at a conventions over the years we carried on a brief correspondence.
Today is the official pub date for my new collection. Here's a link to a thing I did for Mary Robinette Kowal's Favorite Bit series.

Back from the first walk of the day. We ate treats at the coffee shop and discussed what might be either a line of dialog or a title for a new story. "The Previous Dog."
Final cover layout for The Whole Mess. Grateful as always for everyone who offered to blurb the collection.
