I am thrilled to let everyone know that the next Martha’s Sons book is out.  While Peter Dawe is off doing what he’s doing, Thaddeus Dawe steps up to the plate in Under the Earthline. With only a slender hold on their alien world, human settlers from a marooned starship inhabit a single terraformed valley….

The Waking Late Trilogy, complete with all three books, is now available as one giant audiobook!  I am so grateful to Podium Publishing for finding my books and turning them into audio.  It’s been something I’ve long wanted to do, but found it a daunting task on my own.  And I love the new cover….

I got the word from Podium this week. The whole Waking Late trilogy–Sleeping Duty, Out of the Dell, and Like a Continental Soldier–will be available on Audible this coming Tuesday, June 23. And this is the cover! by

New Scientist interviewed me about the Artemis Accords.  Except for the headline, which is wrong, it’s a pretty good summary.  The Accords do not attempt to “lay down the law.”  Rather, they constitute an attempt to implement some of the very general principles in the outer space treaties in the context of returning to the…

I was thinking my new readers might be interested in a free short story I provide my newsletter subscribers.  Sign up here, and receive a copy.

Spoiler Alert:  First, if you haven’t read the first two books in the Martha’s Sons series, don’t read this post at all.  It contains spoilers.

I had the honor of co-authoring a short story with Sarah A. Hoyt of Darkship fame for an anthology of legal science fiction, Overruled.  It was tremendous fun working with someone of Sarah’s caliber;  and–not to put too fine a point on it–it’s pretty cool to make a sale to an anthology. One thing we…

The podcast for my highly enjoyable chat with Vikram Udyawer of Claymin’ Space is now available here.  We talked about U.S. and international space law.  It’s the January 31, 2020 episode.  Check it out if you are interested in space law. by

One of my favorite fantasy novels is on sale. To celebrate the publication of the second book in her Gael and Keir series, my friend J.M. Ney-Grimm is putting the first book on sale. Jessica and I have been friends for a long time.  In college, we met studying karate and then shared an apartment…

I have had a very limited understanding of worms.  As a gardener, I think they’re great.  As an odd person who thinks about terraforming other planets, I’ve figured that worms should be part of the tool box for making a place more like Earth; and, in fact, they provide a moment of joy in Out…
