Apple keeps you safe from dirty words
Here is a nasty little side-effect of dedicated e-readers that few people, if any have addressed. In addition to any and all deficiencies they might have compared to print, we have a situation in some cases where there’s a single portal through which data flows.

Future Americas is out.
I just got my contributor copy of Future Americas, the latest anthology by John Helfers and Martin H. Greenberg. My story within, “Family Photos,” which I mentioned before, is probably one of the darkest things I’ve ever written in any genre. Dark enough that I still half believe that I Read more…

And he gets +4 vs. Furries
I saw a post on Lynn Viehl’s blog and I just had to follow suit and use the online Trading Card Maker for one of my most popular characters. . . (Pic is from the Japanese Ed.)

Irony, thy name is Cassie Edwards
I thought I had posted all I was going to on this. But, then, my wife was waiting at Walgreens to get a prescription filled and was walking past the book isle, and came across this. I draw your attention to the lower right corner.
