Last year, I launched eBookTechnician.com, a site highlighting e-coding that I’ve done for small presses (such as CZP and Bundoran Press), for collaborative work (The 10th Circle Project), and more recently freelance work. I’m a big supporter of ebooks, and I absolutely despise poorly rendered ebooks. I remember one book (The Wheelman by Swierczynski) where all letter Ps had been replaced with Fs. Yeah, I can guarantee you that no one actually ever looked at the file before putting it up for sale. Read more…

I am not a science-fiction writer. Sometimes I dabble in science to push my story forward (such as my novella from Women of the Apocalypse, where my fictional deep-earth headquarters was modeled after the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory), but for the most part, I let the science guys write the science fiction.

I am a confessed lazy person. I don’t want to leave my house to get a movie. I hate even more taking a movie back, which inevitably leads to late fees. And Blockbuster…god, I hate Blockbuster. Ever since someone rented movies on my ‘lost’ card (a card which shouldn’t have even been issued), I have been wishing terrible things on them.
Finally, that terrible thing has come to pass. Netflix. Though for us, it’s spectacularly awesome. For $8 a month, you get a ton of movies.
