Darkling Sea Review Roundup!
A Darkling Sea is in the stores, on the shelves — and in the clutches of reviewers. They have been quite positive, though. We've already heard from the Big Three, but now various bloggers and free-lance critics are weighing in. Annalee Newitz gave it a favorable review on NPR. SF Crowsnest has a nice writeup…

Read an Excerpt From A Darkling Sea

The Thrill Is Gone
I just bought a new computer — which is one reason it's been so long since my last 'blog post. Usually I buy a new computer when the old one breaks, but this time I decided to replace the old one while it's still functional. So now I have a spiffy new MacBook. And I'm…
