Next week I will be at the Seattle Convention Center nerding out about reading, writing, book reviewing, dinosaurs, alternate history, and more. Here is my schedule, which gives me plenty of time to connect with
A valued writer friend recently pointed out to me that I have been in this business off and on for twenty five years. Wow, wow, wow.
Two weeks ago, I got the fabulous news that my Analog novelette, “Apollo in Retrograde” won the Sidewise Award for alternate history. People have been asking me what is next.
“Getting ready to announce now.” That was the DM I received from my writing buddy sitting in the audience when the winners of the Sidewise Award for Alternate History were about to be announced. What seemed like an eternity later, she texted, “And it’s you!!!!” To which I responded eloquently: “What?!!!”
I’ve had a deep love for alternate history even before my days as an archaeologist. It goes back to when I first read about the Punic Wars and rooted for Carthage to prevail over Rome.
