Free content - particularly in the audio fiction space - suddenly seems a lot less of a perpetual free lunch than it did six months ago, and it’s got a lot of folks freaking out in my corner of the Internet. Providers are dropping like flies this year! Matthew Wayne Selznick and J.C. [...]

Buried Alive In The Blues is the story of Irene, a widow who finds herself trapped by a months-long [...]
Are the New Atheists Bad for Science?
By J. Daniel Sawyer
In an article on Beliefnet this week, Michael Ruse argues that the “new atheists” are a “bloody disaster.” He argues using a mixture of caricatures, complaints, and criticisms, so before I go into why I think the man is full of organic fertilizer on the [...]
I am pleased to announce that my friend and sometimes actor Philippa Ballantine and I will be collaborating on a new project this year. Although my creative partner on this endeavor and I are both known for our steamy fiction, this project takes it to a whole new level.
Beginning in December, we will be [...]
Well, ladies and germs, it’s official:
Predestination is a parsec finalist. Officially we’re up for “Best New Speculative Fiction Podcaster/Team,” and, while it’s only *one* of the nominations I was hoping for, if i had to pick only one this would probably be it. Why’s that? Well, this one has the advantage of [...]
I’m stopping in to give you all a quick digest on my recent activities, which have been many, prolific, and at hopefully somewhat scandalous.
First, the appearances. You can find me on recent episodes of Podioracket, The Dead Robots Society, and doing voice work as the German Army in Philippa Ballantine’s Weather Child. You [...]

Amazing day today full of good press for your humble narrator. It started off with your humble narrator being interviewed live on Podioracket’s BlogTalk Radio show. Shortly after I wrapped that up, an interview I did last month with WNDR Radio posted, and hot on the heels of that Dear Editor reviewed my [...]

Well, my friends (and enemies, and trespassers), I’ve just sold my first article that’s NOT about Linux. My essay “As The Gods Themselves…” about science fiction, religion, and the singularity is now online and available for download in PDF and MP3 format at The Journal Sci Phi.
If you enjoy world religions, are [...]
My story Buried Alive In The Blues is now live at Erotica A La Carte. Head on over and take a listen. You probably guessed this based on the name of the venue, but this story is definitely not suitable for children. Enjoy!
I’ve updated the Media Appearances and Publications pages, for those of you who want to be current on what I’ve been up to besides my podcasts and blogging.
I was interviewed this week on The Dead Robots Society, where we discussed Predestination, producing full cast audiobooks, and the glorious delirium of writing. Hear it all here
Some highlights and lowlights of 2008
This year, particularly the second half, has seen a lot of people turn very pessimistic about, well, everything. Yeah, the economy’s slowing down. Yeah, people like me are scrambling just to make ends meet - when money goes slow everywhere, it hits the arts hard. And yeah, [...]
