Shaken is a sexy science fiction thriller about the next Big Earthquake in San Francisco and one woman who meets a mysterious man and discovers dark secrets behind the catastrophe.

Hummers was published in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, short-listed for the Nebula Award, and chosen for The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 5th Annual Collection (St. Martin's Press). It's a tough but compassionate story about death and dying. I've included Terri Windling's wonderful introduction to the story.

Beagle's Immortal Unicorn (HarperPrism) with a new review, and The Sixty-third Anniversary of Hysteria, published in Full Spectrum 5 (Bantam).

For something fast, funny, and five-star, check out U F uh-O. I wrote a screenplay for a producer looking for a science fiction comedy like "Men in Black" or "Galaxy Quest," then rewrote the screenplay as a novella. Five stars! New cover! New for 2022!

My affiliate, Suzanna Moore, has published a passionate New Adult paranormal dark romance, Eon's Kiss (Book 1 of the Eon Trilogy). This is not the usual formula romance, but a tale filled with joy, sensuality, tragedy, and magic with serious things to say about environmentalism and urban development, and a twist you won't see coming at the end.
