I mostly write SF, low-magic fantasy, and short horror.

My first fantasy novel, The Silk Mind is a semi-serious adventure story. Its sequel, The Source of Fire carries on the tale 12 years later, and some of the more serious implications of the back-story.

My first SF novel, Miasma, has a little bit of romance and a little bit of puzzle, set on a far-future human colony. It's told from the viewpoints of three different people.

So instead of listening to me, go and listen to all the Writing Excuses podcasts, and then read every bit of advice you can find from the writers you admire.

All I can offer is: write the story you want to tell, and then rewrite it until it flows. You can't guarantee anyone will like the story, but at least keep your prose out of the reader's way.(less)

Riding the Avalanche

Technology is coming like an avalanche, to flatten and sweep away everything you have become used to, and cannot be stopped. Your children will not live as your parents lived. Some of this will be good, some will be bad. It is not going to be a random outcome though: how good or bad will depend on us consciously riding that avalanche to get to the future we prefer, out of the available options.
