Books in the Mail

I just got word from Pyr Books that my copies of SUPERPOSITION are in the mail!  There’s something incredibly exciting about getting a box of one of my books.  I’ve seen the cover art, and I’ve seen the interior layout, so there’s nothing really new… but holding the actual finished product in my hand is…

Why SFF: A Reading List

Please welcome my friend M.K. Hutchins, whose YA fantasy novel Drift is both a Junior Library Guild Selection and a VOYA Top Shelf Honoree.  I asked her why she wrote science fiction and fantasy, as opposed to other genres, and she responded with this delightful set of book recommendations and musings about the value of…

Your Other-Dimensional Doppelganger

A very cool review of SUPERPOSITION over at Starburst Magazine: “…an utterly addictive murder mystery with a fantastic twist.” “…a compelling and carefully woven sci-fi murder mystery.” “If you don’t read this book, chances are that your other-dimensional doppelganger will, and you don’t want it having all the fun.” Thanks for reading, Starburst!

Two Book Deal with Pyr!

I’m excited to announce that I just signed a contract for a two-book deal with Pyr Books.  The two books are SUPERPOSITION and its sequel, SUPERSYMMETRY.  Superposition is a quantum physics murder mystery, with the kind of reality-twisting feel of films like Inception or The Prestige.  The main character, on trial for murder, must prove…

Terminal Mind is back in print!

In 2009, Terminal Mind won the Philip K.
