    The Chara Talisman, the first full novel of T-Space, is now available in e-book and trade paperback from Amazon and some of the other usual places, with more coming. What if Indiana Jones had had a starship?

     

    The October 2011 issue of Analog features both my story "The Sock Problem" as the Probability Zero piece, and Brad Torgersen's "The Bullfrog Radio Astronomy Project". When Brad and I first met at one of Kris'n'Dean's workshops a couple of years ago (we'd met online prior), we joked about both being in the same issue of Analog one day. Two years later, here we are! Cover. October 2011 Analog
