Cover Reveal and Free Review Copies of “The Dreaming Land” Omnibus

Hi Everyone! I hope you are staying safe and surviving lockdown. Just when it looks like we might be getting a handle on COVID-19, it turns out we aren’t. So I guess we will be locked down in our post-apocalyptic hiding pods for the foreseeable future. Speaking of such things, I just made my last […]

Cover Reveal and Free Review Copies of “The Breathing Sea”

Hi all! I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. Here things continue to be reasonably calm, although lockdown has been extended to the end of May. Better than the alternative, for sure. For me, of course, the difference between life under lockdown and life not under lockdown is not that big, but […]

Cover Reveal and Free Review Copies of “The Midnight Land” Omnibus Edition

Hi everyone! I hope you are all safe and healthy. It’s been quite a month, hasn’t it? Luckily for me, I’ve been able to go into almost total lockdown pretty easily. Others have not been so fortunate. The stories coming out of New York have been very grim indeed. International House, the dorm I lived […]

Thanks So Much For Supporting the Italian Red Cross

Hi All, I hope that you are home and safe and staying that way. March is certainly determined to go out like a lion, isn’t it? I wanted to thank everyone who helped out in my efforts to raise money for the Italian Red Cross, either by buying my books or by donating directly. As […]

Donating My Royalties to the Italian Red Cross

I sincerely hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well, and that you are doing everything in your power to keep it that way. We may […]

Help Me by Voting on the Audiobook Cover for “Half a Dream”

Hi All! I hope everyone is doing well and was not blown away by the storm that swept through a good deal of the US this week. I, obviously, was not blown away, although we did get a tornado warning on Thursday. But the pets and I are still in Kansas, or near enough. Zelda […]

Starting the Year off Right with More Great Fantasy!

Hi All! Goodness, it’s already the third week of this new year and new decade. The spring semester has already started. So far so good for me (for those you just joining us, I have some serious health issues resulting from Lyme disease and toxic mold exposure and who knows what else), although I am […]

“Pride and Prometheus” by John Kessel

I’m normally leery of continuations of Jane Austen novels, or anything that smacks of fan fic in any way, but I heard good things about this novel, so I picked it up. Then I put off reading it for a while, because I was afraid it would be awful. Boy, was I wrong. “Pride and […]
