Welcome, Asimov’s Readers!

I guess some people might visit after reading my story in the July 2008 Asimov’s SF, which has gone out in the mail (though I’m sure it isn’t on newsstands yet) titled, “Lester Young and the Jupiter’s Moons’ Blues.” I hope you enjoyed it, though I guess if you didn’t, you wouldn’t have come here.
Anyway, welcome to my site, and feel free to have a look around if you like. A lot of my recent posts here are about current Korean political stuff, but if you dig, you can find all kinds of other stuff. If you’re like to find some tracks of me playing saxophone, pop over here.
In the sidebar, you can find links to more stories online (including the text and podcast of “Pahwakhe,” which was drafted in the same week of Clarion West, or my Greg Egan fanboy tribute “The Egan Thief” at Flurb), as well as lists of my forthcoming fiction… including another story in Asimov’s. My bio is here, and if you’d like to know more about “Lester Young…” I’ve got some background on when and why I wrote it here.
(To my regular readers, I’m going to leave this stickypost up for a while, as well as adding a link to the Fictionwise version in my sidebar under “Published Stories,” when it becomes available, for those who might want to check it out but don’t want to order the paper version.)

Hello,
Just a note to tell you how much I thoroughly enjoyed your “Lester Young” story in Asimov’s! I’m not a huge jazz fan but I’d certainly recognize Miles’ reincarnation anywhere and you did get it right, as far as I can tell, with Robbie. the whole thing was delightful–laughed continuously, language was poetic and evocative, really original concept and delivery. Looking forward to your next offering at Asimov’s and will definitely search out you other stuff and explore your site, which opens a world completely new to me in several ways. Thanks for a lot of fun and thought-provoking SF!
Thanks, Gene! I’m glad you enjoyed the story!
Congratulations, Gord. We’ll have to get together with others this summer and celebrate your success.

Let’s do it! I’m looking forward to it…
Very nice, Gord. Very, very nice. :-D
Thanks, Marvin! Seems the Texan contingent is digging into the Asimov’s now as Adam just emailed me about it too. :)
