Weird fun fact: if you don't write words, the book won't actually happen. Bizarre, I know. Trust me, I have tried all the other options.

In 2004 LeVar Burton gave the commencement address at Willamette. He walked up to the mic, sang the words “Butterfly in the sky,” and then the entire graduating class, in full voice, sang back to him the entire Reading Rainbow song. Wasn’t a dry eye in the house.

Thrilled to announce that my translation of "The Rattler" (Пикалка) by Leo Kaganov will appear in Asimov's.
This story is scandalous in the best way; the author managed to include acrostics spelling out "Glory to Ukraine, Glory to Heroes." Which I replicated in the translation.

Full sequence of the annular solar eclipse at Shiprock, New Mexico. This was a dream composition of mine. So much time, energy, and money went into making it happen. I'm forever grateful to the Navajo for letting me shoot it from sacred ground. An experience I'll never forget.

(Of course I'll have to mention Pompei, because I've been obsessed with it since I was a kid, but you know... we're still discovering more about it!)
