Short and sweet

Updated  June 20, 2017

 I haven't posted a short-fiction update in awhile. Tsk on me, because a bunch is on its way ...

Upcoming in Analog:

•  July/August issue: "The Pilgrimage." That's a Probability Zero (flash fiction) story.
• September/October issue: "My Fifth and Most Exotic Voyage." This is an homage to, well, it's best I not spoil the surprise. Suffice it to say the novelette is both hard SF and quite the change from my customary work. 

(Update: "The Pilgrimage" has been rescheduled to the November/December issue.)

Upcoming in Galaxy's Edge:

• May issue: "Nothing to Lose?" This short story has a touch of horror to it.
• July issue: "Too Deep Thought." Another short story, this time with deep, philosophical roots.

A company asset?

And my debut in the Grantville Gazette (in the "Universe Annex" department):

• May issue: "The Company Man." This novelette is a different sort of homage, a mystery, and, quite possibly, the beginning of a series. Think Dashiell Hammett meets Robert Heinlein.

Oh, and one of my favorite (and most popular) short stories, "Grandpa?", will be reprinted in the upcoming anthology, "Science Fiction for the Throne." 

Now if only I could figure out why the novel in progress remains ... in progress.
