…with my name on them. Fresh from Rosen Publishing comes Incredibly Disgusting Drugs: Speed, by yours truly.

Marseguro is a top SF pick for February…

A nice review of Marseguro…

…just cropped up at Darque Reviews: “…a creative tale…Mr. Willett blends science fiction with heavy religious beliefs into a well-written storyline that’s filled with dramatic scenery and character detail.

Jeff VanderMeer interviews me

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.”

One thing ends, new things begin

Why, yes, I haven’t been posting much beyond my columns: thanks for noticing! It seems like since I got back from the Canadian Chamber Choir tour I’ve been either too busy or too tired to do much beyond the occasional blog post. But perhaps that can change now that I have finished one thing and …
