Summer of LoveThese are my traditionally published titles by Big New York Publishers. Please see Stories for my recent traditional magazine publications.
So that makes me a hybrid author! (You already knew that.)
Now that Bast Books is publishing these books below (except for the Pangaea books, those are still in the works) and beyond, I'm listing individual titles with their own links. Check my Home Page for links to the new editions, newly re-edited in beautiful new trade paperbacks. Summer of Love, The Gilded Age, The Garden of Abracadabra, Arachne, Cyberweb, One Day in the Life of Alexa, and Strange Ladies: 7 Stories are all back IN PRINT. And now CHROME. And now ODDITIES: 22 Stories. All nine print books are in eight countries and all ebooks are on eighteen retailers worldwide.
Visit my Amazon Author Page for one-stop shopping and all the links to print books and ebooks. Barnes and Noble is distributing the print books and the ebooks, too.
The book covers below are the traditional publishers' covers. They're actually pretty nice. But, now, Bast Books has our own covers.
Summer of Love
San Francisco, 1967. A troubled teenage runaway. A half-black, half-white hip merchant with a shameful secret. And an angry young man from the far future on an impossible mission. They have only the summer to save the Universe from annihilation.
May, 1994 (Bantam Spectra Books)
A San Francisco Chronicle Recommended Book of the Year

"Captures the moment perfectly." The San Francisco Chronicle
The Golden Nineties (retitled The Gilded Age in the Bast Books edition)
San Francisco, 1895. A madam with the busiest brothel in town has a feisty mind of her own. A young man, the alcoholic heir to a dissipating fortune, is hell-bent on self-destruction. And a zealot time-traveler from the far future is conscripted to save her own life and the life of her child—in the past. Can they all come together to save the future from destruction?

A New York Times Notable Book
A New York Public Library Recommended Book
“A winning mixture of intelligence and passion.” The New York Times Book Review
Pangaea, Book I: Imperium Without End
Book One of a powerful visionary epic from a celebrated voice in science fiction. Pangaea, an ancient world stabilized over millennia by the laws of the all-powerful Imperium, prides itself as the apex of civilization. Society is divided into rigid castes, entertained by state-controlled dreams, and kept “pure” by state-run genetic laboratories. But the global landmass of Pangaea is shaking with cataclysmic earthshocks foretold by the Oracle, forbidden passions infiltrate the sharemind of the Imperium, and the ancient order is threatened by desperate and violent revolutionaries.
May, 1999 (Bantam Spectra Books) Coming soon to Bast Books in an ebook and a print book.
“Mason’s tale is filled with an operatic assemblage of exotic characters, dramatic events, and glorious language.” The Philadelphia Inquirer
Pangaea, Book II: Imperium Afire
Book Two in an epic of astonishing originality by one of the most imaginative voices in science fiction. Includes the complete Orb of Eternity and all thirty of Tom Robinson’s drawings of the Facets.
A world in cataclysm. A tyranny in turmoil. An ancient oracle foretelling apocalypse—or redemption.
May, 2000 (Bantam Spectra Books) Coming soon to Bast Books in an ebook and a print book.
