The first edition of The High House. A Bob Eggleton cover, seen best when laid flat. Bob told me the movie, Dark City, influenced his style on this one. Currently out-of-print, it can be found used at quite reasonable prices. To read a sample chapter, go here.

My short story, The Battle of York, appears in The Year's Best SF 10, edited by
David G. Hartwell. The paperback is available through any major book store.

My short story, The First Editions, is now available in The Year's Best Fantasy 9 anthology edited by David G. Hartwell, published by Tor Books. I'm really pleased to be involved in this particular book, because it is the first Print on Demand book offered by the company, a sign of the changing times and the growth of electronic publishing. Unfortunately, this also means that it won't be available in book stores, only on-line. Amazon has it, should you decide to buy it, please go directly to www.tor.com If the book proves profitable, more such offerings will be available in the future. The $16 cover price may be daunting to some, but be aware it is a thick volume, and is in a larger 8 and 1/2 inch by 5 and 1/2 inch size.

If you are interested in an essay I wrote for an anthology devoted to editor and writer Lin Carter, you can order it by clicking here. The name of the book is Lin Carter, Apostle of Letters.

Some time ago I began a labor of love, attempting to rewrite William Hope Hodgson's fantasy masterpiece, The Night Land, converting its rather difficult language into a more readable text. An early draft of Chapter Two of my rewrite was published in the anthology: Night Lands: Eternal Love, edited by Andy Robertson, under the title "The
Testament of Andros." You can purchase it here.

Here are some covers from foreign editions of my novels. As you can see, with the German and Russian editions, the publishers often use existing artwork, and none of the scenes dipicted are actually in my books. In fact, these illustrations have adorned the covers of American editions of other writer's work. Michael Wheelan's is the artist on the Russian edition.

The Spanish edition, which came out a couple of years ago, does feature original art based on The High House, with a splendid illustration by Alejandro Teran.
