Then suddenly Merry felt it at last, beyond doubt: a change. Wind was in his face! Light was glimmering…. But at that same moment there was a flash, as if lightning had sprung from the earth beneath the City. For a searing second it stood dazzling far off in black and white, its topmost…

Social Distancing Summer in the 603
This is half a mile from our house. I go for a stroll down there quite often and set up a little folding outdoor chair to write in the fresh air (and away from WiFi/LTE.) Other people pay money to come here on vacation, and we get to have this any time we want. I…
You wake up one morning and half the year is gone
It seems that it’s July already, which means that 2020 is officially halfway over. Let’s hope that the first half of the year wasn’t just a warm-up.

Audiobook news
I’ve turned in my most recent two novels in the span of six months (BALLISTIC in August of last year and ORDERS OF BATTLE in January of this year), and while doubling one’s output is on the whole a good thing, it can also have some unintended effects. One of those effects is that I’ve…

Berlin is never Berlin
Tor.com has a new Wild Cards story out today, written by me. It’s called “Berlin Is Never Berlin”, and it features Khan, my joker-ace character who is half Bengal tiger and 100% bad-ass.
