My thoughts on the 30th anniversary of Billy Idol's groundbreaking (and controversial) 1993 electronic rock concept album.

Now that the contract's signed, I'm thrilled to announce I'll be writing CYGNI CORPS, a Military SF trilogy for Aethon Books!

It's set in my Runners universe, through the viewpoint of a MEC soldier thrust into a unit of misfits who are injected with a performance-enhancing serum with adverse side affects--the deadening of one's emotions.
If I had to pick influences, they'd be The Forever War, Platoon, Borderlands, and Cordwainer's Smith's stories. I can't wait to get started.

My essay on Zardoz, and why it's a science fiction masterpiece. John Boorman's ambitious film still has something to say, nearly 50 years later.

Three of my poems appear in this anthology, which was released today. I've never had poetry published before, so this is a first. Thanks to Rhys Hughes for the opportunity.
