There's a new podcast up today. This is a recording of a reading I did at World Fantasy 2007 in Saratoga Springs, New York. The story is "Hard Times in the State of Nature", a short story about philosophy and God that recently appeared in my collection The River Knows Its Own [ Wheatland Press | Amazon ]. This seemed particular apropos in light of the ongoing discussion at daveraines' LJ about the internal narrative of atheists.

Underfunded Schools Forced To Cut Past Tense From Language Programs
Tesla Christmas Tree — For all your sparky goodness.
US says it has right to kidnap British citizens — Um...no one could possibly anticipate any problems arising from a doctrine like this, could they? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?
More gay men describe sexual encounters with U.S. Sen. Craig — That would Republican Senator Larry "I am not gay, I never have been gay" Craig. To belabor the obvious, I couldn't care less whether or not Craig is gay. More power to him. I care a great deal that both he personally and his party in general have built their political fortunes on strident anti-gay hysteria. Hypocrisy: the familiest value of them all.

New podcast up — Me reading "The Dying Dream of Water."
bravado111 is wise about the recent death of kenscholes's mother.

There's a new podcast up today. This is a recording of a reading I did at 2007 North Coast Redwoods Writers' Conference in Crescent City, California. The story is "The Dying Dream of Water", a short piece which appeared in Flytrap #3 back in 2004, ed. Tim Pratt and Heather Shaw [ Tropism Press ].
This story is part of my ongoing unpublished (and unfinished) Old West fantasy, Original Destiny, Manifest Sin. Watch for it in a bookstore near you around 2017. I believe I'll publish the text of this story next weekend as my free fiction feature.

There's a new podcast up today. This is a recording of the introductory remarks for a panel on fiction and autobiography at the 2007 North Coast Redwoods Writers' Conference. I speak first, followed by authors Susan Bono, Inez Castor, Joseph Millar, and Derrick Jensen. There's some nice stuff there, and it's also interesting in the sense that I am the only fiction writer on the panel.

Various items of interest from the writing life. I'm having trouble getting podcasts.yahoo.com to acknowledge my feed. Their podcast submittal process is totally pants as far as I can tell. Any thoughts on that are appreciated, along with other suggestions for places to register my podcast.
Just posted "Heading West" as fiction here. I'm going to try to do that once or twice a month for the foreseeable future. If they prove popular, I'll up the post count a little. For now I'll restrain myself to shorter works with prior publication. I may eventually serialize longer work or post trunk items, we'll see.
I was talking over dinner at Foolscap about the relationship between novels and food. Back in the old days, say, 1970, novels were skinny. Go to a used bookstore with a good speculative fiction stock and look at all the old yellow-spined DAW titles. Note how thin they are. 40,000, 60,000 words. Nowadays, outside of YA, a novel has to be 90,000 - 120,000 to even get started.
Then books like M.M. Kaye's The Far Pavilions (Bantam Books, 1979) started appearing. Big books. Books that people liked and wanted to buy and read. Combine this with fantasy's apparent genetic tendencies toward trilogies (and worse), and we all got bigger.
Much like food. Restaurant portions, from drive through quickies to Claim Jumper feasts, have gotten larger and larger during the years of my adult life. We conflate portion size with abundance, I think. Readers like a big bite...what is the relationship there?
I'm sure pnh or casacorona can comment much more knowledgably about the size trend in books (not to mention correct my errors), but it strikes me as an odd and interesting coincidence.
More to come. the_child wants taking to her Do-Jump class.
