Author. Reader.
cover for The Big Book of SF&F (aka The Del Rey Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy)
The formerly titled The Del Rey Book of Science Fiction and Fantasy is finally available as an ebook from Open Road. We had to change the title for legal reasons but here it is.

Here's to a new life for one of my favorite, mixed-genre anthologies.
Title of new cyberpunk novel, Fabricated: A Cybil Lewis SF Mystery. It shows two individuals at a wall to floor glass window. They are looking out over a city in the evening. There's lights and structures in distance.
To help kickoff #BlackSpecMonth!
New Release: FABRICATED: A CYBIL LEWIS SF MYSTERY
It's a whodunit with themes of wrongful incarceration, the cost of ambition, and how the truth never stays buried.

Thanks, Gabino! New short story in the latest Dark Yonder, just out. "Imagine what it takes for a human heart to beat for ninety years straight."

Nice! I just started learning guitar. Any advice, or recommendations for a first guitar? Acoustic w/ electronics, I’m thinking. 😺
