PLAGUE YEAR trilogy in the Netherlands!
The good folks at Uitgeverjj MACC and Zilverspoor MACC have released Plague Year in Dutch with War and Zone set to follow over the next year and a half. The trilogy has a great unified look. I also gotta say I love the new titles! Het Jaar Van De Plaag sounds very cool. Even better, to me these covers say “techno thriller” and “apocalyptic action-adventure.” You’ve got your space station. You’ve got your jet fighters. You’ve got battered survivors, irregular militia, gas masks, barricades, mi...

Russian cover of PLAGUE YEAR
I like it! You don’t usually see actual people on the various covers of this book around the world. The publishers tend to go with gas masks or nanobots. But look at this tough young gritty well-equipped hero and his miserable crew!
Get to high ground!! Get to high ground!!

Back To The Frozen Sky !!!
This sequel is way overdue. Life has interceded, but I’ve been dying to return to the ice… dying, that is, like someone with a sunfish eating their face! Bwah ha ha.
Who likes the killer artwork by Jacob Charles Dietz? Me me me me me.
I’ll let the jacket copy speak for itself:

Catching up in 2014
Holy godzillas, dude! It’s hard to believe I haven’t blogged since October… but more and more, I find myself letting the social media fall to the wayside. Partly that’s because I spend all day in front of a computer, so more computer isn’t too exciting. Mostly it’s to make time for the flesh-and-blood relationships in my life. In the rare spare minutes of our busy schedules, I’d much rather talk to my wife or my friends than hang out on FB. I realize that makes me sound crazy. Like a fox. 
La...

Believe It Or Not, I’m Still Alive…
…and I’ve been meaning to post an insightful and well-considered blog about books like The Clan of The Cave Bear,Subterranean, Darwin’s Radio, and the classic novella Inconstant Moon, all of which have surely been sloshing around inside my brain for years.
No question Inconstant Moon was partly my inspiration for the original short story of Interrupt, and I read and re-read the “Earth’s Children” novels when I was a boy. Why my parents let me read Cave Bear and Valley of Horses when I was ten...

I’ve Been Out In The World
Yes, sometimes they actually let me out of my room. So here are two fun pictures of the places I’ve been. In one, you’ll see, I was on the set of the remake of The Birds with . Love that guy.
In the other, I seem to have been in dream land…?
