My FB Feed today brings me a link to this review of my story “Bugs” from Tangent Online. I strongly suspect that seeing “Recommended” as a final word in a review of my work will never get old. [grin] # “So, just what does a writer do?” I’ve been getting that question a lot over […]
Read More ...Lezli Robyn: Most Interesting Person #2
Goal for the morning: Make one, single conversation absolutely sing. Status: Goal achieved. * * At least I think so, and right now I’m the one who matters, eh? # So here’s my second pass at something I would put on a page that pointed my brilliant readership to other, probably far more interesting people […]

I admit I’m stymied about how to respond to the recent discussion about gender and race in science fiction. I get it all and I agree with the general focus, though I tend to think of things as always in transition and get a bit angsty at folks with the most one-toned responses. They are […]
Read More ...Not Finishing
Turns out my expectation of finishing Lord of the Freeborn over the weekend was pretty much fanciful. Who knew, eh? On the positive side, I have managed–I think–to get through the natty front half that has been killing my buzz for the past gosh-awful many weeks. This is good, of course. So, you ask, when […]

I am considering creating a space here on Typosphere where I can talk about and point my meager but brilliant readership toward other really interesting people. I may do that if I get some extra time, which I’m hoping to do Sometime Real Soon Now (he says, grinning with cunning slyness). If I had such […]
Read More ...Mur and the Totally Trick Question
Yesterday I was listening to a podcast interview of Mur Lafferty. Mur is a writer, an editor, and a big name podcaster. And, of course, a recent Campbell Award winner as best new writer. The questions were interesting overall, but it seemed that the interviewer was not, let’s say, the most positive-minded person in the […]
Read More ...A Title Arrives!
I’m slowly getting back into a more normal flow of things after a full week+ in San Antonio. For me, these things take time even in normal situations, but with Lisa still on limited duty, it takes TIME. This morning, however, I did manage to get back to some actual serious word creation. I’m working […]

Lisa and me in San Antonio. I don’t really know why she likes me, but I know she makes me look good. 🙂 Share Me
Read More ...Schrödinger’s Soldier See’s “Print” and More on (Kick-Tail!) Reviews
I am plagued by the problem of having too many things in my head that I want to discuss. In times like these I’m working on just taking a deep breath, analyzing, prioritizing, and then saying “let’s just do whatever we want, okay?” So I’ll start by noting the Third Flatiron anthology, Lost Worlds, Retraced […]
Read More ...Friday – Day 2 Semi-Recap
I’ve decided there’s very little that’s more cool than going to a publisher’s party and seeing a cake made up with a book cover, and having that book cover carry your name. Seriously, can there be much cooler than that? It happened last night at the Dell party (Dell publishes Analog and Asimov’s), and the […]
