Another Review + News
I'm happy to report that there's another good review for my newest collection, THE END OF ALL SEASONS. Among other things, Steven Silver says, "... Davis's prose often rises above the level of prosaic and achieves a rhythm and meter which sets it apart from most science fiction and provides a majesty to his stories." Which is very nice, indeed. You can check out the whole review right here.
There is now only one (1) day left in Brenda Novak's annual auction to support Type 1 Diabetes research. I swear, this is the last time I'm going to plug this auction, but it's very important that funds are raised for the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI). The DRI is solely focused on finding a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, and their newest innovation - the BioHub - might well be the answer to a problem impacting millions of families... including mine. For the auction, I've offered up a complete manuscript evaluation (up to 100k words), along with a three (3) chapter line edit, and a follow-up phone call. Bidding is still open and the current high bid is still way less than I'd normally charge for this kind of thing, so check out the links and get your bid groove on before it's too late!
I'm still hopeful that I'll be appearing on Mary Robinette Kowal's journal, for her regular "My Favorite Bit" feature, but I've been keeping an eye on her Facebook updates, and she's been busier than a one-armed bartender between deadlines and traveling back and forth across the country. If you know Mary, you know that the travel alone is an epic task because she has the WORST travel karma of anyone I've ever known. (Seriously, there's even an online game she plays with friends and followers whenever she travels...) Still, maybe she'll find a little time to sneak my entry in soon, and if she does, I'll post about it here.
I'm wrapping up the last bit of student thesis work over the couple of weeks, and I'm starting to hear from the incoming MFA students that I'll be seeing in July in Gunnison, Colorado for the residency. That's also when I'll be delivering my comments to the graduating cohort on their final packets. Speaking of Gunnison, last year, we had the honor of hosting Kevin J. Anderson during our annual Writing the Rockies conference. This year, we've got Jim Minz from Baen Books and Andrew Zack, the literary agent, in addition to a slew (how much is a slew, anyway?) of other guests. The conference is open to anyone who wants to attend, so check it out here, if you're looking for a smaller event in a gorgeous venue, packed full of publishing and writerly goodness!
In other news, the last contracted Bolan is almost done, and I have plans in place for my next projects, as well as a proposal floating out there in Publishing Never-Never Land for a new series that I'm hopeful about. In the meantime, the weather is slight warmer and the kids are almost done with school, which means less time to work, but I still have to...
