Excerpt
The creature paused at the top of the ravine, then turned into the mist and disappeared. From down below I watched it fade. But I had seen it clearly in the dry fields above the village, a shambling figure bigger than a bear. I had seen its naked face and chest, long forehead, black hair. Astonished, heart thumping, I’d followed it upstream into the rocks.
Bio
These days I live in North Adams, Massachusetts and teach writing part-time at Williams College. I have a wife and two children, a son and a daughter, and live a scrupulously middle-class life. I am the author of (count 'em!) twelve books of science fiction, fantasy, and historical fiction.

Writing Description
You can't make any progress as an artist in America without producing the same work over and over. I try never to repeat myself, needless to say. If something works well in a previous book, or if I manage to create some traction, I won't revisit either the subject matter or technique.
Goals
I'd like to write a short story and Tuckerize it--that is, have people buy elements that I then incorporate in the text. For your $100 donation, you can be my muse for the main character (send me an evocative photo, give me characteristics, or just select a name) or the story location. Smaller donations get sincere thanks and a hearty handshake; larger donations are welcome as well.
