Books & Magazines

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!

My story "Stone Age" is in the June 2011 Analog (on the stands April 5). My first Analog T-Space story!

The Probability Zero story in Analog Science Fiction & Fact for April 2011 is "Small Penalties", my modest suggestion for dealing with spammers.

Full Throttle Space Tales #4, Space Horrors leads with my science-fictional homage to the master, "Poetic Justice"

A collection of some of my short fiction, Starfire & Snowball is available from Amazon for Kindle.

The June 2010 Analog Science Fiction & Fact contains my short story "Light Conversation"

My story "Snowball" is in the anthology Footprints, now out from Hadley Rille Books

Here are a couple of books I've had non-fiction papers published in.
