HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
I hope everyone is having a truly joyous and wonderful 2010. I have a lot of exciting things in the works, so keep checking back here for the latest updates.
I'll be appearing at FenCon VII next September
I've been invited to participate in writer panels and sign books at this fun-filled event in the fall. FenCon is a science fiction and fantasy literary and filk convention. It takes place Sept. 17-19, so mark your calenders. For more details, go to fencon.com.
 Paramourtal to be released soon
I'm hard at work co-editing a collection of paranormal romance stories entitled Paramourtal for Cliffhanger Books. It's my first time to fill the editor seat so the pressure is on. We had several stories submitted by some very talented people, and choosing the best is definitely the toughest part of the job.
The book is scheduled to be published this summer. To find out more about it and other books, check out the Cliffhanger website.
 ''IT!'' featured on 365 Tomorrows
My short sci-fi story ''IT!'' has been added to 365Tomorrows.com so check it out. 365T is a terrific site that hearkens back to the days of the thrilling sci-fi adventures written in the Thirties, Forties and Fifties.
It specializes in flash fiction (less than a thousand words). Or, as they explain, ''fiction with its teeth bared and its claws extended, lithe and muscular with no extra fat.''
Look for my story in the Hint Fiction anthology this fall
 This was an interesting -- and fun -- project. This November, W.W. Norton and Company will publish a collection of 100 to 150 examples of "hint fiction." They are stories told in 25 words or less that suggest a larger, more complex story.
My hint-fic, "Cure", will be included. Besides my work, it will also include selections from such best-selling and award-winning authors as Joyce Carol Oates, Ha Jin and Peter Straub. I am honored to be walking with such literary masters.
You can pre-order the book now on Amazon.
 An exciting new book I highly recommend
A good friend of mine, Bayan Jalalizadeh, has just published a truly epic fantasy adventure novel entitled Danyen's Gift. The first in a trilogy it tells the story of Danyen, a young villager who travels across oceans and evades bloodthirsty pursuers in search of an ancient sword forged from the fallen star Nihrel. Full of magic, action, and suspense, it is a novel of rich storytelling that will keep you enchanted long after you finish reading.
The author is nineteen and he's already being compared to Christopher Paolini, author of Eragon. Now is your chance to discover this truly talented new writer and pick up a limited edition of his novel before he becomes a household name. To learn more about Danyen's Gift, click here.

 Writing runs in the family
My brother, Lance, and co-author, Kira Gould, recently wrote a non-fiction book entitled Women in Green: Voices of Sustainable Design. It outlines how the future of sustainable architectural design is being influenced by women and women's ways of working. It's been hailed as a groundbreaking work in green architecture and design.
Order a copy at Barnes & Noble or Amazon.
He's currently working on his second book so keep an eye out for it, as well.
 See me in Star Trek Strange New Worlds -- while you still can
My short story "Demon" is featured in the popular anthology, Star Trek Strange New Worlds 8, and "Seven & Seven" is in Star Trek Strange New Worlds VI. It's getting harder to find them, so pick up copies while you still can.
