    Just happened to catch the latest Agony Column from the incomparable Rick Kleffel, and he's chosen to headline today with a brief look at "MultiReal."

  2. Read Chapters 1-5 of “MultiReal” in the Pyr Sampler  • 
    Interested in reading chapters 1-5 of my new novel MultiReal, a good three and a half months before the book’s in stores? Now’s your chance. Pyr has just released a 326-page sampler (PDF, 3.5 MB) of its upcoming titles for the spring and summer, and the first 45 pages or so of MultiReal are in [...]
  3. Robert J. Sawyer Praises “MultiReal”  • 
    I knew that attending the 2007 World Fantasy Convention would be a good idea for my career, I just didn’t know why.

The book measures 477 pages, or about 148,000 words (including appendices). There are 6 sections, 45 chapters, and 8 appendices. The opening epigraph comes from [...]
  9. My Readercon Schedule  • 
    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.
