Interviews With the Best

We find a brief but informative interview with me on Scifibookshelf.com.

On the Video

Here's an interview from ActuSF, conducted at Utopiales a few weeks ago. The interviewer is Julien Morgan. If I'm a bit more articulate than is usual for me-- particularly considering that this event took place in the morning--- consider that it was the second time I've answered these questions. (The first time we did this interview, the sound got buggered.)

Two More Appearances For Your Pleasure

I seem to be everywhere online these days.

First, there's an interview with me on Tor.com, wherein John Joseph Adams and I discuss This Is Not a Game.

And next, TINAG is reviewed by Paul Raven on authors-books.com.

I feel we should read This Is Not a Game as a genuine hybrid, an effort to take the best bits of the technothriller and the SF novel and combine them into something that can straddle both camps . . . This Is Not a Game is a technothriller with the distinction of being written with a respect for the reader’s intelligence, and I would love to see more books like it on the shelves at supermarkets and airports.

Buy more copies! All the smart people are doing it!

A Remarkable Encounter With One of the Most Significant Writers of This or Any Time

I am interviewed by Charles Tan.

"I need people to buy my stuff and to tell perfect strangers how wonderful I am. I need to be interviewed constantly on the nationwide networks. I need people to buy my books as presents for their loved ones. All my books.

"What I really need is for the whole universe to be about me. Is that too much to ask?"

STILL everywhere!

Behold, I am interviewed at Concept Sci-Fi.

And for those of you who haven't yet read enough positive reviews of Implied Spaces, here's one from the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Or you could just trust me and buy it. When have I ever led you astray?

Alibi (1)

The Alibi, Albuquerque's free weekly alternative, is carrying an interview with me.

This is on the subject of martial arts and, tangentially, fiction.

The interviewer caught me before I fully caffein'd for the day, but I managed a modest degree of coherence despite the handicap.

I also include a martial arts self-defense technique which I'm sure you will all find handy.

Please note that an excess of qi has turned my skin a brilliant pink. Not my best color.

The Newspaper of Record

I'm in the Sunday New York Times. Be sure to reserve your copy at your local Starbuck's.

It isn't a rave review in the front part of the literary supplement, unfortunately, but an investigation on the state of the field following the death of Sir Arthur Clarke. Also quoted are Charlie Stross, Paolo Bacigalupi, and Ian McDonald, so (alas) it isn't all about me.

A twenty-minute, wide-ranging interview got cut down to a single quote, but that's par for the course.

Still, as a writer with a book just coming out, this is not a bad gig.
