My first novel was hailed by PW as an "impressive debut" and won an Oregon Book Award. Since then, I've published over 30 books, including the popular Garrison Gage mysteries. Also the cartoonist behind www.runofthehouse.net. | www.scottwilliamcarter.com.
Thanks so much!
Finished the short story "Strays" by @scottwilliamcarter.com in the Sept/Oct issue of @asimovssfmag.bsky.social. The premise is a husband/wife team are traveling through space hunting down and disabling missiles drifting from a long ago war. It's a searing, emotional story. 10/10

A few pictures from a hike last week with Rosie up in the Dunn Forest area, near Corvallis, Oregon. Eight miles on old logging roads, 1200 foot elevation gain, views of the Willamette Valley. Didn't see a single person the whole time.
