Six years later, after a layoff in high tech, and before the credits all expired, Strickland completed his master's degree.

Despite working in high tech, and especially during the periods of unemployment common to high tech workers, Strickland wrote, mostly for the consumption ...more

James James said: "Before you ask, I got my copy of this book through Amazon.co.uk, where the book is in print today. This is my habit with Morgan's books, rather than waiting another year for them in the United States.

Traditionally, in Noir, it's customary...more

James James said: "What if AIs turn out to be decent people?

I admit it. I'm a cyberpunk writer by trade (at the moment), so most of the AIs you encounter in my work tend to be malignant sociopaths, at best. Duntemann's collection of short stories, though pr...more

717257 Hello, James,

Thank you for adding me. I think I've seen your name on the SFF group here.

Congratulations on the contest win, and on being able to manage a Na-No... I am a slow writer, and whenever I set myself a deadline, or have one imposed, either my husband or my child gets sick and shares! LOL. Or else a school break, or series of snow days, or housecleaning emergency coincides.

I write funny RSF.

Are you on FaceBook? MySpace? Shelfari? Feel free to friend me there, too.

Best wishes,
Rowena
