- My Capclave 2007 Schedule • October 9, 2007
This weekend, I’ll be attending Capclave, the largest Washington, DC-area science fiction convention. I’ve got three panels, plus a reading and a signing. The reading time they’ve assigned to me is the plum spot of 11:30 p.m. on Saturday night. The Capclave organizers originally had me scheduled in a joint reading at 5 pm alongside [...] - A Guide to Ethical Self-Promotion • August 17, 2007
Update 11/18/09: Thanks to Mainer 122′s comment below, I’ve just become aware of a blog post by Stanek containing what appears to be the original of the photo below. Looks like it might be authentic after all — or at least a Photoshopped version of an authentic photo of Stanek with Brian Jacques. In which [...] - “Infoquake”: It’s Back • August 6, 2007
I'm still reeling from this news, which I just heard about literally 20 minutes ago... but it appears that Solaris Books has just inked a deal with Pyr to release a mass-market paperback edition of "Infoquake." - Readercon 18 Report • July 9, 2007
I’ll admit that I’m fairly new to the science fiction con circuit, but having been to Readercon twice now, I have no hesitation crowning it my favorite. The panels are generally high-minded and intellectually stimulating; the guest list is always first-rate; and best of all, there isn’t a single dork with a Klingon outfit or [...] - My Readercon Schedule • July 5, 2007
This weekend, I’ll be at Readercon 18 in Burlington, Massachusetts. Readercon’s kind of special for me, since last year’s Readercon was my first exposure to the SF con scene. (Read my recap of Readercon 17.) Last year, I headed off to Readercon knowing literally one person two people in the SF field: my editor, Lou [...] - “Infoquake” Nominated for John W. Campbell Award • May 31, 2007
Holy auspicious awards, Batman! My debut novel "Infoquake" has been nominated for the John W. Campbell Award for Best Novel! - “Infoquake” Reader Reactions • April 27, 2007
Amazon recently took down a 5-star reader review of "Infoquake," and I'm a little disappointed. Also, I received an email from a woman who claims "Infoquake" is a "guy magnet." - Penguicon 5.0 Wrapup • April 23, 2007
Here's Penguicon 5.0 in a nutshell, from my perspective: one part serious business, two parts goofy SFnal fun. - Rapid Fire SF Reading in DC Wednesday Night • April 10, 2007
Tomorrow (Wednesday) night, April 11, I’ll have the privilege of reading with a bunch of other science fiction folks in the Washington, DC area. It’ll be held at the Tenley Interim Branch of the DC Public Library at 4200 Wisconsin Avenue at 7:30 p.m as part of their National Poetry Month programming. (Note that the [...] - KGB Reading Wrap-up • March 23, 2007
I arrived back late last night from my trip to New York for the Fantastic Fiction Reading Series at the KGB Bar. Co-organizer Ellen Datlow was kind enough to post photos of the event on her Flickr account. The reading, I felt, went fabulous. At 40 people, the reading audience was both the largest and [...]
