What is science fiction?" A definitive answer at last!

John C. Wright* nails down the ever-pesky definition of science fiction: Science Fiction is that genre of cognitive estrangement in a post-Gothic mode, utilizing a willing suspension of disbelief, transcending anthropocentricism and temporal provincialism, where spacemen, raygun in fist, soar through outer space with a glamorous brunette Space-Babes in their brawny arms. He offers extensive …

The aforementioned chapbook

Further to yesterday’s post about the workshop and reading that wrapped up the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild’s Online Youth Mentorship program last night, here’s what the chapbook looked like (well, here’s what one chapbook looked like, one of the ones I assembled: every one was a bit different, depending on who made it).

Jeff VanderMeer interviews me

A few days ago I discovered that Jeff VanderMeer (yes, the two-time World Fantasy Award winner: that Jeff VanderMeer) was running an interesting survey on his blog, Ecstatic Days, in which he had posted several examples of book cover art and then asked his readers several questions about, such as what kind of book they …

It’s not as exciting as a new novel…

…but here’s the cover of another book I contributed to (I wrote a chapter on Regina’s Communities of Tomorrow partnership), which just arrived yesterday.

Free sample of Marseguro now online!

I’ve just posted the first two chapters of my upcoming science fiction novel Marseguro over at edwardwillett.com. Enjoy! And, then, of course, I hope you’ll order the book.

Another cover, another book…

I’d almost forgotten about this one, but if Amazon’s publication date is right, this will actually be my next non-fiction book to appear, before the Janis Joplin biography. It’s Speed, for educational publisher Rosen, part of their charmingly titled series “Incredibly Disgusting Drugs.”

Lookie what I found…

…on Amazon.ca: the cover art for my upcoming book Historic Walks of Regina and Moose Jaw! It must be getting close.

Marseguro revision submitted!

Yay! At approximately 2:30 a.m. I finished and sent off the revised version of my new novel, Marseguro. I don’t expect to see it again until page proofs. My editor at DAW, Sheila Gilbert, responded by sending my the cover art, but I’m not sure if I can post that here, yet, so I’ll hold …

"So, how did it go?"

I’m sure that’s the question you’re dying to ask about my telephone conversation with my editor at DAW, Sheila Gilbert, earlier today. It went very well…it also went on for an hour and a half and produced five single-spaced pages of notes. I now have a couple of months to rewrite the whole thing and …

My Jimi Hendrix biography is out!

It must be, because I got my author’s copies today. Here’s the cover! It’s published by Enslow, the same folks who published the J.R.R. Tolkien and Orson Scott Card biographies I wrote previously, and who will publish the Janis Joplin biography I’m working on now. Like those, Jimi Hendrix: Kiss the Sky is intended for …
