A New Short Fiction Collection

A new collection of my short fiction, Dream of Venus and Other Science Fiction Stories, which contains all of the stories set in the background of my Venus Trilogy, is now out from Wildside Press as one-half of Wildside Double #27. I've included an introduction and afterwords to the stories. On the other side of this volume, readers can enjoy Decimated, ten early short story collaborations by Jack Dann and George Zebrowski with biographical commentary by the authors. Just in time for the holidays, and you can order the book here.

UPDATE: This book is also available from Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and other bookstores and vendors.

PODs at Reduced Prices

Print-on-demand paper editions of several of my books, including the Venus trilogy and the Watchstar Trilogy, are now available at a reduced price from E-Reads.com. Read about the E-Reads offer here, and check out my E-Reads author page here. Hardcover copies of my 2004 short fiction collection Thumbprints, many of them autographed, are also still available from Golden Gryphon Press.

The Sunken City

My 1986 novel Venus of Dreams had in its first chapter one character recalling a trip to New York City, where she had explored the submerged towers of Manhattan by boat. Pieces in this past Sunday's New York Times indicate that this particular prediction may pan out sooner than I expected back then.

Audio Alert

My Genghis Khan historical novel Ruler of the Sky, already available as an e-book and trade paperback, is now out in audio from Audible.com. If you've got a long holiday drive coming up, like audiobooks, and enjoy historical fiction, this is the book for you.

"A Smaller Government"

The 2012 U.S. Presidential election is over, but if you haven't completely ODed on politics by now, my 2007 story "A Smaller Government," suitable for folks of all political persuasions, is just out in issue 263 of the British audio magazine StarShipSofa.
