For those interested in my story “Sarging Rasmussen: A Report by Organic,” which is appearing in the Shine anthology, there’s an excerpt online. Yup, the story is what you might think it is from the excerpt: Pick-Up Artists meet the Green Movement meet the UN, basically. If you like it, there’s a huge pile of preorder links right there in the sidebar of the same page.

Shiny!
oh my word, these pages, full of stars: how they Shine! The stars to which I refer are, of course, bright and shiny ideas about this future we’re tumbling toward, and not the authors, of which I am one. Just got my contributors’ copies of Shine, the new anthology of optimistic SF edited by Jetse de Vries that Amazon says is coming out on March 30th. I’ve only read a little of it, but it looks like a hell of a ride! If you want on, you can preorder it at a bunch of places: Jetse has links for all …
Alone With Gandhari
As of right now, my story “Alone With Gandhari” is online as part of Clarkesworld issue #42. (Yeah!) If you’re more of a fiction listener, I can happily direct you to the wonderful Clarkesworld podcast of the story in which the tale is narrated (and briefly but insightfully commented upon) by the ever-sensitive and dramatic reader Kate Baker.

I may have mentioned some of this before, but to make sure I’ve mentioned it all: Carmelo Rafala has added my story, “The Broken Pathway” to The Immersion Book of SF, Vol. 1, which is due out sometime this spring from Immersion Press. It’s a story near to my heart, because it’s set in the neighborhood where I live, but a little over a century ago, during the Sino-Japanese war (the bit that trespassed into what is now “Korean” territory). It features Korean monks, a Japanese geomancer, some government officials, and the mountain I …
Apex Readers’ Poll and Anthology
Well, the final edit for “The Bodhisattvas” is finally in the can (thanks to Jonathan Strahan for very useful nitpicking and questions), and I’ve been nudged to mention that there’s a reader’s poll over at Apex for the best new fiction piece (“Story of the Year”) of 2009. Tons of good work there, so if you’ve been reading Apex Magazine this year, check out the list, maybe refresh your memory, and vote for what you liked best… which of course is my story, “Cai and Her Ten Thousand Husbands”, right? Right? Speaking of which, the Apex anthology collecting “Cai…” and …
