\"\"<\/a>That’s right!\u00a0 My poem “Zarmina,” dedicated to Gliese 581 g (the first exoplanet discovered in its sun’s habitable zone) is published on page 98 of issue 61 of Leading Edge!<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Also included in this issue is an excellent essay by Brandon Sanderson, in which he introduces his second law of magic systems.\u00a0 It’s an excellent essay, and has made me rethink how I do FTL systems, especially for the Gaia Nova universe.\u00a0 I’ll have to do a post a little later on that.<\/p>\n

Besides this landmark essay by Brandon Sanderson, this issue features stories by Dan Wells and Dave Farland, as well as an interview with Howard Tayler.\u00a0 And as always, it includes a number of excellent stories and illustrations.\u00a0 Check it out!<\/p>\n

(Full disclosure, I volunteer as a slushpile reader and occasional copy editor for the magazine.\u00a0 However, my work always goes through the submission process under a pen name, where only the head editor knows who I am until the decision on whether to acquire the story has been made.)<\/p>\n

In other news, Genesis Earth is now up on Goodreads<\/a>, so go check that out as well!\u00a0 The nice thing about Goodreads is that you can give the book a # star rating without having to write out anything else.\u00a0 If you’re so inclined, I would very much appreciate an honest review–but if you do give it a rating, please be honest.\u00a0 Don’t worry; even if you give me less than five stars, I won’t hunt you down like this crazy author<\/a> (hint: get some popcorn and read the comments).<\/p>\n

So anyhow, that’s what’s been going on here.\u00a0 Desert Stars <\/em>is coming along slowly but surely, and I’m working on getting some cover art for Bringing Stella Home<\/em>.\u00a0 If you have any ideas or suggestions on the art, please let me know.\u00a0 I’ll probably go through my back issues of Leading Edge<\/em> to search out good sf artists.\u00a0 For some reason, I’m having a hard time finding anything that clicks on deviantart.\u00a0 My goal is to epublish that book by the end of July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
