In my most recent post, "
Trope-ing closer to release :-), I reported that I'd received -- and would disappear for awhile into a close reading of -- copy edits of
Trope-ing the Light Fantastic (subtitled, The Science Behind the Fiction).

Inching closer :-) |
I've reemerged -- after a weekend and a day of reading and commenting -- from that task.
So exciting! Which is not to say you can yet rush out to order a copy. (I wish.) But we
are closer. Yay, team!
Part of the time I was involved in that, my first and favorite reader, aka my wife, Ruth, was reading the completed first draft of my next novel:
Deja Doomed. Ruth had, as always, many helpful suggestions. Soon I'll turn to incorporating those into an updated draft.
In other writing news, I learned that
Analog is accepting
Clockwork Cataclysm, my latest short story. No word yet as to its pub date.

Mine was the cover story |
And speaking of appearances in
Analog, in 2017 the 'zine published a novelette and two short stories of mine. I was tickled to learn that the novelette and one of the shorts are finalists in the zine's reader poll for last year. (Here's the announcement in
Locus: "
2017 Analog AnLab Awards Finalists.") On the
Analog website, you can
read many of the finalists, my stories included.
