Facebook issue
If you're following me on FB, be aware that for some reason or other FB is only allowing me to create drafts, and that I cannot post them. I doubt that many people are following me on Livejournal, but in case you are, that's the problem ( Read more... ) -
BONSAI BABIES gorgeous cover!
My collection Bonsai Babies is coming out in October. I'd love to offer a sneak peak. The cover art, by Kate Jonez, is gorgeous! But unfortunately, livejournal is blocking the image. No idea why.

We will find worlds that orbit other stars;
the universe will still be full of wonder.

Elgin Award for LOVER & KILLERS
It's getting to be old news now, but my LOVERS & KILLERS won first place for a full-length book for the Elgin award. It was also on the Stoker ballot, plus one of the poems therein was a Rhysling nominee, and another of the poems, "The Hidden," placed second in the Dwarf Stars competition.
