A little ink more or less

My short story collection As Smart As You Are, He Was, And As Bad As He Is, He Was is now available at Lulu.com, as either a trade paperback or an ebook download.

The full table of contents is listed on that page, so I’ll just say a few things: this is what I think of as a “best of” collection. I’ve published much more than what’s in this volume, but I left aside anything published when I was young or that I simply don’t like anymore. Sure, some of them I would write differently if I wrote them now — but that’s true for things I wrote a month ago, too.

A few of the stories haven’t been published before.  “The Ballad of Steven Rocketship” is a digression excerpted from a lengthy space opera epic I don’t expect to finish this decade. “Downbelow Domino” is excerpted from the novel of the same name, which I’ll say more about in the next few weeks.

The published stories include stories published at Strange Horizons and The Fortean Bureau, as well as harder to find work.
