Mission: Tomorrow for the Masses

This near-future science fiction anthology from Baen is now available in a pocket-sized mass market paperback edition. Includes my short story "Ten Days Up" (which I would never describe as "like the movie Gravity but on a space elevator"), plus more from Brenda Cooper, David D. Levine, and many others. Buy your copy today!

Funny Ha-Ha

Last week at the Rainforest Writers Village, I gave a well-received talk on writing humor. Click through below to see my slides, if you're into that sort of thing. (Imagining what I actually said is left as an exercise for the reader.)

Meet Me at Emerald City

Next week I'll be attending ECCC in Seattle, doing a live podcast panel on Thursday (March 2nd) and an autograph session at the University Book Store booth on Sunday (March 5th). Let me know if you'll be in town and want to get together!

Norwescon Writing Workshops

In addition to some Norwescon panels next month (schedule TBA), I'll be doing a "Write Your Elevator Pitch" workshop (based on my Clarion West One-Day Workshop "Synopses and Queries: How Do They Work?"). And if that's not your speed, there are plenty of other writing topics with awesome writers like Kate Ristau, Nisi Shawl, and Kat Richardson. Sign up now; space is limited!
