I’m making a free sampler of my short fiction available mainly for the purposes of the John W. Campbell Award, for which I’ve been shortlisted in 2009: if you want to get an idea of what I publish, this is a great place to start. The stories here showcase a range of subgenres I write in.

Click here to download this sampler.

(if for some reason you don’t feel comfortable with the .zip, you can access the individual pdfs by clicking from the table of contents below)

If you’re a voting member of Anticipation, and see anything in my bibliography you’d like to check out, why don’t you send me a mail?

Information about voting for the Campbell here. The nomination ballot isn’t yet available; I’ll update the website when it is.
