Excerpt


Like microphones at a dictator's podium, the wormhole mouths greedily swallow my words. So I tell them stories, steganographically coded, whisper daring encrypted visions back.

Tell and whisper sound better than transmit, don't they?

The memeseeds will were, therefore I am.

- from "The Egan Thief"

Writing Description

I mostly write SF, though I've been rediscovering my older roots in the spooky stuff lately, and it is on that stuff I'll be spending time this summer. Whatever I'm currently fascinated with tends to get thrown in, from jazz music to Confucian rituals and Victorian atheism.


Goals

I'll be collaborating on two or three stories and (I think) completing one on my own. At least three finished products by the end of the six weeks, finished and ready to go out.  Since collaborations involve give-and-take, I will likely spend any extra time on drawing closer to a conclusion on one novella I have sitting around half done.

As for fundraising, well, raising funds is my goal. Here's hoping what I can raise will make a dent!
