I’m in yet another anthology, this time it’s the heavy hardback The Best of Jim Baen’s Universe, which, in addition to being a memorial to the late Mr. Baen, promises to be an annual event. You should also check out the web-zine that birthed this anthology. Within you will find Read more…
While I was gone I got my copy of Man vs. Machine, the latest Marty Greenberg/John Helfers anthology.I mentioned my contribution, “The Historian’s Apprentice”, earlier. I honestly think that it’s my best short-form work to date. Again, my story is singled out in a Harriet Klausner review. Unfortunately, her summary Read more…

As requested, a little info on the antho and my story in it. My story, “The Historian’s Apprentice,” is in large part a homage to Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun. It is a far-future Dying Earth story set long after an apocalyptic man-machine war that’s left the moon Read more…
