SF and Mystery writer (and occasional poet). Progressive thinker and lazy activist. Retired policy wonk. Loves books, travel, my wife--not in that order.
Driving Ambition is a lot of fun!
Just to let @worldfantasy2025.bsky.social attendees know: my book Human Resources will be available from Newcon Press, but I am bringing along a *small* number of copies of my (BSFA Award shortlisted) novel Rabbit in the Moon and my (not shortlisted for anything) novel Driving Ambition.

Got a royalty statement and my 2022 novel The Embroidered Book continues to outsell my later books, partly because it had momentum out of the gate, but at this point those sales are word of mouth, which is cool. If you fancy a big novel about Marie Antoinette and her sister as rival magicians, here:

I was called back to the lab for blood work because FedEx had a problem taking the original over the US border. Always suspected the head of Homeland Security was a vampire.

I'm in the middle of the penultimate chapter of my new novel. The thrill of completion is now battling with the horror of rewriting.

Do you suppose there is a gene for wanderlust? My father spent six years as a hobo and later became a travelling salesman. Is that why I feel the urge to go someplace new every couple of months? And when I get there, I want to go someplace else. Epigenetics affects us all.

1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧵

Global renewables hit records in 2024, but fossil fuel use still rises. Here’s why solar’s surge isn’t enough—and what the latest energy data really shows.

I'm exploring the interconnectivity of life. I've read lots of books, non-fiction and fiction: most recently "There are Rivers in the Sky" by Elif Shafak (wonderful!) which uses the water cycle as a metaphor for connections between people through time. Any suggestions (let's see what I missed)?

One of the things i am not hearing mentioned during tariff discussions is how weak the dollar has become since King Midas took the throne. The dollar has fallen approx 10% on average to other currencies.
So as an importer, you’re not only paying tariffs, but also buying with a weaker dollar.

Wrote almost 15K words on my new WIP over the last two weeks, which brings it just under 60K. It's been both a challenge and an adventure as I am trying a couple of new approaches to writing. Can this old dog learn new tricks? Time will tell.

The latest poll from Ekos on Canadian voting intentions in the imminent Canadian federal election show the Liberal party at 48% and the Conservatives at 31. This is the reverse of 6 weeks ago. People are calling it the #Trump effect. Other polls show the parties roughly tied. Still a big change.
