Homepage Update, Nov.16: DARC AGES & Short Story "Family Photo"

My official homepage update of the week:

Chapter 55 of DARC AGES;

"Family Photo", a new PRECINCT 20 mystery about... trying to determine whether someone is dead or not. It gets weird and creepy. And the protagonist starts to crack up under the psychic pressure of having to solve only the most bizarre cases.

Enjoy!

Website Update & Additional Silly Things

My official website has been updated with another chapter of the novel DARC AGES. The story is approaching its conclusion... and I'm planning to release the complete novel as a Kindle e-book.

See also the Kindle release of ALIEN BEACH.

Speaking of which... I've started a serious rewrite of my novel ALIEN LAND, the sequel to (or continuation of) ALIEN BEACH. 
The first version of ALIEN LAND, which ran as a Web serial, felt "rushed" and I knew it needed improvements. So the rewritten version, which will appear as a Web serial in 2011, is not going to be the same book.

And now for something completely different:
On the blog Good Show Sir, I often join in the comments on amusingly inept or badly executed SF/F book covers.

Watch me riff away with other bloggers at Good Show Sir.

Note how you can easily turn bad blurbs into cool Beatnik poetry:

The night
The stars fell
And the spacemen
Rose.

Can ya grok it, baby?
