Writing Update- March 2019

It’s been a productive last few months, and I have some big news to share. The first piece of news is that I’ve just had a sci-fi short story accepted in a reprint anthology titled Final Frontier. The editor, C. Stuart Hardwick, reached out to me a while back to see if I had something to contribute. The anthology will be released in time for the 50 year Anniversary of Apollo 11, and Stuart requested I submit a story that “celebrated the indomitable spirit that carried mankind to the Moon.”

Release Day- The Post-Apocalyptic Tourist’s Guide to Seattle (free preview)

Today is release day for The Post-Apocalyptic Tourist’s Guide to Seattle. It is the sixth Episode of TPATG Series 1. Even though it is classified as a Novelette, it is just a few hundred words shy of being a Novella. To read more about the work that went into writing it, see my previous blog post. My thanks to all those who pre-ordered. It is available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited.

The science of suspended animation: an interview

I sold my first non-fiction article! Back in January, I got in contact with Tony Daniel, the senior editor of Baen books, sent an article proposal, and signed a contract. Around the same time I won the Jim Baen Memorial Short Story award. I think it took him a couple of weeks to realize he was communicating with the same person in the two different email chains. This article was originally going to be posted last month, but he felt it was best not to publish it the same month as my short story "Feldspar." Here is the link to the article on the Baen website: "Stasis: The Future of Suspended Animation."
