A first step toward the future of Andy Nebula?
My 1999 YA science fiction novel Andy Nebula: Interstellar Rock Star (which you can read online, or download, in its entirety) postulated a future in which company called Sensation Singles uses a computer to identify the next “big thing” on the interstellar music scene, plucks a person matching that description from musical obscurity, and raises …

(Oh, look, there it …
A preview of Saskatchewan Express

It begins: Saskatchewan Express does a December show in Regina every year, but it doesn’t always do a Christmas show.

A new review of Lost in Translation…
…has popped up at the blog Bibliophagic. Brazilian blogger Adiel Mittman gives it four stars out of five (and says it reminded him of Asimov’s Foundation series!) but he does have some thoughtful caveats.

What I’ve Just Read: Off Armageddon Reef
I’m a big David Weber fan (and had a chance to meet him and be on a panel with him at ConVersion in Calgary a couple of years ago)…or perhaps it would be more accurate to say I’m a big Honor Harrington fan, since nothing else he’s written has captured my interest as much as …
