On this
website:
In addition
to the main pages listed in the column on the left, this site
currently contains --
*A page with links to
other persons named Brad
and/or Bradley Denton
. .
.
* Three excerpts from LAUGHIN' BOY (a novel published in
August 2005 by Subterranean Press) . . .

the novella "Sergeant Chip", first published in The Magazine of Fantasy
& Science Fiction
, September 2004 (edited by Gordon Van
Gelder), and winner of the 2005 Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award .

Eat Our Brains:
*A new blog
located at EatOurBrains.com. Seven contributors,
no waiting. Each contributor may post as many
entries as he or she wishes, but must post at least
one entry on his or her assigned weekday. (Brad is Thursday's
Child.) The culprits: Madeleine E. Robins, Steven Gould,
Morgan J. Locke, Maureen F. McHugh, Rory Harper, Caroline Spector,
and Bradley Denton.
Magazines:
*The Magazine of Fantasy & Science
Fiction has been my favorite periodical (in any category or
genre) for thirty-five years.
*Locus Online is
a great source for up-to-date news in the science fiction
and fantasy fields. Book reviewers for other magazines
and newspapers should check this site at least once a week, just so they'll know
what's going on.
*Revolution SF is getting
better and better.
*SciFiction
is disappearing soon. Go there NOW to read all of
the tremendous stories Ellen Datlow has published on the site.
*Science Fiction Weekly has
news and interviews galore.
*The Onion. You know
why.
*Harmony Central. Take
a look at the "User Reviews" before you buy that new guitar or
amplifier.
*Asimov's. With F&SF,
Asimov's leads the fight against the forces of
evil.
Writers,
Artists, Editors:
*Walton "Bud" Simons.
Bud has written short stories, comic-book scripts, reviews, and Wild
Cards mosaic fiction. And now he has a website,
too.
*Junction Point Studios is the new
online home of boy genius and Game God Warren
Spector
.
*Howard Waldrop is
one of our greatest living short-story writers; they don't call him
Mr. National Treasure for nothing. He doesn't have a computer
or an email address, but he has a website. Go figure.
*Doug
Potter illustrated my two-volume story collection back in
1994. He's also illustrated the work of Howard Waldrop,
written and drawn comic books, and drawn dozens of cartoons and
covers for the Austin Chronicle. He's good. Take
a look.
*Ninfinger.org belongs to photographer,
aerospace buff, and software engineer Sven Knudson,
whose stunning nature photos line the walls of my and Barb's home. Why
"ninfinger"? Ask Sven.
*Caroline Spector's novel Scars
has just been published (October 2005). This
is a "Lost Novel of Earthdawn" that was supposed to have
been published in the U.S. ten years ago. It appeared in Europe,
but it's only now seeing print here in the States. It's dark
and beautiful.
*Jonathan
Strahan, editor and reviewer extraordinaire, recently said
some
nice things about LAUGHIN' BOY in his blog, "Notes from
Coode Street." The rest of the blog is pretty swell,
too.
*The Reverend
Steve Galindo had a
few things to say about my work recently, too. It's
good to have readers with blogs.
* Jayme Lynn
Blaschke is a terrific writer -- and he recently
published a book of interviews with still more terrific
writers, Voices of Vision.
*Check out the
fantastic art of David Lee
Anderson. He also plays
guitar.
*Ditto Patrick Nielsen
Hayden. His site (jointly owned and operated with
Teresa Nielsen Hayden) is a great source of news
and opinion.
*Neal Barrett, Jr. is my
hero.
*John Picacio. Holy
smokes, what an artist.
*Benjamin
Rosenbaum
isn't just one of our best new writers
in American science fiction and fantasy. He's one of
our best writers, period.
*Rick
Kleffel's Agony
Column is a one-stop source for insightful genre news,
reviews, and interviews.
*Michael
Bishop is
the writer we should all want to be when we grow up.
*Sff.net hosts home pages for many
science-fiction and fantasy professionals -- too many to list
here. Check it out.
*The Night
Shade Books Discussion Boards include message boards for
magazines like F&SF and Argosy -- and for writers and
editors like Andrew Fox, Ellen Datlow, Jack Womack, Adam-Troy
Castro, and dozens of others.
