Coming Very Soon!
It’s almost here! The final book in my Martha’s Sons series goes live on March 7. I want to share the cover first. I have to say, I’m pretty bittersweet about it finishing. I’ve been living with these people for years, and now everything’s wrapped up. How did that happen? Anyway, maudlin mooning aside, here’s…
Life Colonizes
I was raking leaves and uncovered the little dudes in the picture. More raking showed they came up in a circle, like a fairy ring. My plant ID app says it’s called shaggy mane. It’s also known as lawyer’s wig, but I will not be putting it on. In a fit of optimistic ignorance, I…
Making Tomorrow’s Moon
I was on one of the Beyond Earth’s Institute’s webinars regarding lunar and cislunar development. I, of course, discussed property rights because they’re important. More inspiring, however, were John Reed, ULA’s chief rocket scientist, Andrew Rothgaber and Dallas Beinhoff. Andrew is with the start-up, ICON, which is working on how to do lunar construction. Dallas…
Your Honor, I Can Explain
The wacky crew at Raconteur Press just published Your Honor, I Can Explain, a court room drama anthology. The stories aren’t all science fiction, but I’m looking forward to reading them even so. I’m open-minded about such things. Also, they promise to be whimsical. One of those stories is mine! I’m feeling pretty honored to…
LibertyCon After Action Report
LibertyCon last weekend was super fun. The travel wasn’t, but the con was. You know when you get to the airport for your 8 a.m. flight and they tell you at the gate that your plane’s “been downgraded”–which is not a sentence you ever want to hear about an aircraft in the first place–that things…
LibertyCon and Sleeping Duty
I’m looking forward to LibertyCon in Chattanooga, TN this weekend. It’ll be fun to see old friends and meet new ones! I wanted to let you all know about a temporary–and very brief–price drop for the paperback version of SLEEPING DUTY. I had to order author copies for LibertyCon , but left it too late,…
You Find an Alien Artifact on an Exoplanet. Do You Apply the Law of Salvage or Finds?
Clients never provided their lawyers enough time, and this was one of those times. Joseph Stern walked as fast as Yoel Aronson, first mate on the Copernicus, not only because he could but because he had to. Aronson, who seldom saw cause for formalities, had come and fetched the lawyer himself. There was only one…
Stonecropping in a Fugue State
I have never entered a shoe-buying, jeans-bingeing, on-line procuring fugue state, where I’m surprised later by my acquisitions. I did, however, worry last week that I’d gone around the bend with the on-line plant purchasing when a large Izel box arrived that I didn’t remember ordering. It was full of stonecrop–fifty plugs of stonecrop, to…
