Locus Includes “Deep Blue Jump” on 2023 Recommended Reading List!
My latest novelette, “Deep Blue Jump,” which appeared in the Sept./Oct. 2023 edition of Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine, has been included by Locus Magazine on its annual Recommended Reading List. Only three of Asimov’s 2023 novelettes were included (though, truth be told, there are many more than that on the Locus reading list).
Neither classical SF nor Fantasy, “Deep Blue Jump” deals with current social issues still unsolved a few years in the future, in an imaginary but recognizable part of the world we live on now.
Asimov’s has posted a page with free links to the novelettes, along with the few novellas and short stories they published last year that also made the Locus list. Please share the link widely, to give as many people as possible the opportunity to read the story. It might tempt them to read more from the genre.
On Sale Now!
An alien who can paint on a soap bubble. A soldier whose wounds can always be healed. A woman famous for Seeing the future, while her true talent, healing, is ignored. Iridescent beings inhabit Whitlock’s dreams. Some of these tales are fantasy, some are science fiction, some are a bit political and more than a bit surreal, but one thing you can be sure of, every one of then will stir your emotions. Love them or hate them, you won’t be bored.
Includes 20 stories written between 1985 and now. Most have been published before but you’ll also find a couple of new ones just seeing the light of day. Find out more here…
Watch my Reading/Presentation about Finn’s Clock!
Watch my presentation about the background to Finn’s Clock, “Becoming American Then: Finn’s Clock and the Boston Irish in 1853.” The presentation explores the development of Finn O’Neill’s story from my initial action-adventure concept into an immigrant’s coming-of-age journey. It was recorded and aired by CATV in White River Junction, VT, and now can be viewed on the station’s YouTube channel. Take a look here!
