Plot’s one of my strong points as a writer. That’s brought home to me when I see reviews saying that the Apotheosis Trilogy is “tightly plotted.” To my POV that is amusing because it (and its predecessor, Hostile Takeover) are, for me at least, vast sprawling shaggy dog stories that throw in just about everything [...]

Today I’ve a guest blog post up @ SciFiGuy.ca wherein I go and mull over my current obsessions on religion and space opera in the Apotheosis Trilogy.
Can you write SF about religion? It’s an interesting question because when people tend to think of Religion and SF, it almost always in terms of opposition. It is [...]

Zoe doesn’t seem too impressed, but it may be because she can’t read.
If you want to buy it on-line, but you’re pissed at Amazon’s antics of late, you can buy it here. Or here.

I’m currently working on Messiah, which is not only the last volume of the Apotheosis Trilogy, it is also quite possibly going to be the capstone on my entire Moreau/Hostile Takeover universe. I won’t say it will be the last book in that universe (never say never) but it is likely to be the last [...]

My RSS reader starts lighting up from my Google feed. She gives me a positive review in her own unique style.
Here.
Here.
And here.
I suspect there’s more out there somewhere.

Of course the big news is I finished the editorial rewrite of Wolf’s Cross which means that it is officially finished. (Except for reviewing the copy-edits, any last-minute editorial decisions, and going over the page proofs. . . other than that, it’s done, really.)
But, in addition to that, look at what I got in the [...]

We have cover art for Heretics:

Well, my editorial phone call was deferred until probably next week, so space opera is deferred. This is probably a good thing, gives me a chance to concentrate on Marcon and my release party for Prophets. (When is it, you ask? Well it is 4pm on Saturday in Room 501 in the Hyatt [...]

Going to talk about Heretics with Sheila @ DAW this evening, and go over (hopefully minor) editorial rewrites. This means I have shifted from medieval werewolves back to post-singularity space opera. . .
I’m this far from writing about post-singularity werewolves. But that’s another novel.
