From MediaBistro's Daily Feed, a new way to read the news.

E-paper, here we come...

Four-day weekend coming up. Didn't get as far as I wanted since Sunday--the story of my life--so I am hoping to get much done by the time next Tuesday rolls around. Will try to stay offline...good luck on that, but I'll try.

Facial on Friday afternoon. Massage on Saturday afternoon. Both will be needed.

I like the path this story has taken. Feeling much better than I did, say, two months ago, when I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to rework the thing.

The tunnel vision has set in. Nothing else is really computing at this point, which makes me a joy to be around.

A very nice review of Incident on a Small Colony in this month's Internet Review of Science Fiction. Registration required.

This one is full of the elements that a military adventure tale should have: a rapid pace, a hard edge, high tension, deadly secrets, neat skiffy gizmos, and even aliens somewhere in the background. Readers should enjoy this longish story.

It is longish. It's a damned 1/3 of a book. But I enjoyed writing it.

Back to work now...
