A Moment of Repose: Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove
Reading Time: < 1 minute He gave us fire, and then the gods chased him. So he fled! This is the setup behind my contribution to the anthology, Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove, edited by EDE Bell of Atthis Arts, in which each story must take place during the span of five minutes at the famous hotel located on the East Coast of the United States. A lovely collection, with a whopping sixty-one tales. It just goes to show how creative authors can be when given an idea and told to let their imaginations run free. Given that most of these stories are quite short, this is a great book…

You may have seen kids bungling their newest skateboard tricks, or people falling into lakes, or construction jobs gone bad. As we build spaceships and robots and explore the galaxy, don’t you think we’ll still mess up sometimes? My comedy SF short story, “Galactic Fails,” was published today at Tall Tale TV. Listen to the talented Chris Herron bring my story alive–thanks Chris!

iRead: The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu
Reading Time: 2 minutes The Paper Menagerie, a short story, swept the major SF/F awards, garnering a Nebula, a Hugo, and World Fantasy awards. The last time this happened was with William Gibson’s Neuromancer, back in the 80s! You almost want to not like it, when it gets that much hype. So as I started it, I might have been a little critical (let’s see what you got, Ken). First I noticed that his prose was clean, spare. Not a lot of wasted words–lots of blanks for the reader to fill in. Hey, I kind of write like that. But pretty soon, I was swept up into the story and forgot all…
