Jeff Gets Political
Actually, I strive not to be political as far as social media is concerned. Too many kooks on the net! If you read my books, you can get some sense of my world view. Meanwhile, Happy Halloween!

In Keeping With My Chronic Lateness…
Here is my short story “Pressure” translated into German as Lange Augen on Pulpcore, a hot new webzine in the Fatherland.
That’s right. The editor, Heiner Eden, released his translation in July. I am just now bragging about it. What a crazy year it’s been!

Sweet new review for FROZEN SKY 3
The critics at San Francisco Book Review think good things about Frozen Sky 3. Hooray!
Their acronym and my acronym make me want to say this an SFBR FS3, right? My only quibble about their review is that while, yes, FS2 was a short novel and therefore a ‘novella,’ FS1 was a full-fledged novel and FS3 was a rather fat novel. FS3 is well over 100K words. It’s only 300 pages in print because we used a teeny small font and it reads even faster on a Kindle or an iPad or a phone because, you know,...

The Chewbacca Defense
We live in northern California in a small old house built in 1961, when everybody but everybody was putting in pools. The old-timers on the street tell us the owner used dynamite to blast a crater into the sandstone. Try doing that without a permit in 2016!
Our pool is a huge, deep, uneven rectangle with a vinyl liner. Vinyl is not a high-end surface but it’s one that actually serves us well since the concrete has lifted and shifted and cracked. The real problem is that the skimmer and the re...

Hello, Internet! Plus a fun review in Dutch!!
Yes, I know, it’s been a seriously long while since I posted a single word upon this world wide web. Things have been busy indeed in Carlson Land. Big summer. Many projects. Much fun. Even got some writing done!
Now that fall is upon us, I am putting my nose to the grindstone in order to finish Frozen Sky 4. You don’t know it, but I’m having a great time with Vonnie and Ash and Ben and Harmeet and the sunfish and, yes, Colonel Ribeiro. What a hardass. There might be some strangers in this boo...

FROZEN SKY 3: BLINDSIDED !!!!
In case you missed it, I have finally returned from Jupiter… and I brought a new book with me. It’s called The Frozen Sky 3: Blindsided. FS3 has a killer cover by Jasper ‘the Genius’ Schreurs, a sweet blurb by Allen Steele, and, best of all, it’s all about Vonnie and the sunfish.
Please let me know whatcha think!

If you speak German!
Eisiger Himmel, better known to many as The Frozen Sky, is currently seeing a fine promotion from the good folks at AmazonCrossing on their Kindle Deal Of The Week.
If you can follow Vonnie in her native German, now may be the time!
They also have a killer audiobook narrated by the commanding and smooth Susanne Grawe. I love it when I hear my own books and I have no idea what’s going on… but I seriously love her delivery. Ms. Grawe is awesome.

Ja! Hörbuch-Download EISIGER HIMMEL!
Yes, that’s German to you.
Alexis Vonderach has a new audiobook in her native language from Audible as narrated by the smooth, intent voice of Susanne Grawe. If you’re in Germany or Austria, or if you just Sprechen sie Deutsch, it sounds incredibly cool.
