Doppelgänger

January 3, 2021

I’m working on The Restoration, which is the Praxis book following Fleet Elements, and lately I’ve been having a hard time with it. Part of it has to do with how much less amusing it is to write about a great empire that’s tottering because of greed, mendacity, scapegoating, and stupidity when I’m actually living in a country […]

Explosive Celebration

December 10, 2020

Today I celebrated the release of Fleet Elements with a virtual cocktail party attended by several of my favorite writer friends.  I decided to have a champagne cocktail, and to open the champagne bottle by a traditional method employed by the French military— slicing off the top of the bottle with a sword (or in my case, a […]

Speaking to Excess

December 9, 2020

    Suddenly there is a lot more of me out in the aether than there was a couple days ago.  Perhaps more of me than you actually want, but if you ration yourself a little, at least I won’t be taking up your whole day. First up, a brief Q&A with Deborah Kalb. Next, […]
