    Short fiction is where I started, and I'm going back to do some more work there.

     I still have novels to write, too.  But while I've been working on book-length projects, the short stories have been piling up and growing impatient.  So now the book-length work will have to wait while I get some of those backlogged stories out the door.

     In the meantime, here are a few that are already out there:

 


 

      My novella "Sergeant Chip," which won the 2005 Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award for best short science fiction of 2004, originally appeared in the September 2004 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction  (edited by Gordon Van Gelder).  It's been reprinted in the first volume of The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy for Teens (edited by Jane Yolen and Patrick Nielsen Hayden), Best Short Novels 2005 (edited by Jonathan Strahan), and Year's Best SF 10 (edited by David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer).

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

  

      Another novella, "The Territory,"(which was a Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award Nominee in 1993) is now available as an audio book by InfiniVox.  The InfiniVox recording is a terrific production, complete with theme music.  The story is read by voice actor Jared Doreck on 2 CDs with a total playing time of two hours.

     "The Territory" originally appeared in the July 1992 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction  (then edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch).  It was reprinted in my collections The Calvin Coolidge Home for Dead Comedians  and One Day Closer to Death (see Books), in The Year's Best Science Fiction: Tenth Annual Collection   (edited by Gardner Dozois), and in One Lamp: Alternate History Stories from The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction  (edited by Gordon Van Gelder).

     That's enough for now.  If you read all of these, I'll tell you about the others.

     Okay, I'll tell you anyway.  Later.

     There are brand-new stories on the way, too . . . and I'll announce those as their publication dates draw near.
