  1. The Jump 225 Jumbo Mega-Bonanza Summer Giveaway (Finale)  • 
    In the last contest of my mega-summer giveaway, I asked the all-important question that eight-year-olds have been wondering since the world was young: who would win a deathmatch smackdown, Obi-Wan Kenobi or Gandalf?
  2. “MultiReal” Miscellany  • 
    Life moves fast, and this "MultiReal" promotion stuff is zipping by like an F-16. Here's a passel of news about book stuff, which I'm just going to lump here behind bullet points for lack of any better idea.
  3. The Jump 225 Jumbo Mega-Bonanza Summer Giveaway, Week 4  • 
    This week's contest: who would win a deathmatch smackdown fight, Gandalf or Obi-Wan Kenobi, and why? (Or better yet, how?)

    Here's my Readercon 19 schedule, for anybody who will be in Burlington, Massachusetts this weekend and wants to catch up with me.
  5. SciFi.com Compares “MultiReal” to Herbert, Spinrad, Bester, Egan, Etc…  • 
    Yesterday Paul Di Filippo posted a review for my new novel "MultiReal" for SciFi.com. And not only did Mr. Di Filippo give the book a grade of a solid "A," but he name-checked half of the greats of science fiction in the process.
  6. The Jump 225 Jumbo Mega-Bonanza Summer Giveaway, Week 3  • 
    This week's giveaway contest: pick a comic book superhero to run as either Barack Obama's or John McCain's running mate this fall. And then tell me why said superhero would be an asset to the ticket.
  7. Interview on Jon Armstrong’s “If You’re Just Joining Us” Podcast  • 
    Jon Armstrong, author of the Philip K. Dick Award-nominated "Grey" and fellow nominee for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, has interviewed me on his "If You're Just Joining Us" podcast.
  8. Brief SCI FI Wire Interview  • 
    My pal John Joseph Adams, who seems to have become the charter member of the Edit a New Anthology With Great Authors Every Month Club, has posted a brief interview with me on SCI FI Wire discussing "MultiReal."
  9. “Infoquake” on LibraryThing Early Reviewers List  • 
    LibraryThing has a program called LibraryThing Early Reviewers, wherein certain publishers make review copies of their books available to LibraryThing members. All you have to do is sign up for LibraryThing, go to the Early Reviewers Request List, and click the big "Request It!" button next to "Infoquake." If you're selected, you get a copy of the book, which you are then theoretically supposed to read and review on the site.
  10. SFNovelists Interview Now Up  • 
    There's an interview with me that's been posted to the SFNovelists.com group. Simon Haynes, author of the Hal Spacejock series, has put the interview up on his Blogspot blog and his LiveJournal, God bless him. Since this is a group interview, it might still pop up on other SFNovelists member blogs too.
