Writer. Scientist. Thoroughly Disappointing Flesh Muppet.
[Obligatory self promotion and reminder: I’ll be on the West Coast in a few weeks, signing copies of the final Milkweed novel, Necessary Evil. Feel free to swing by if you happen to be in the area! My schedule can be found here.]
Over the past weekend, I came across two articles pertaining to a subject of constant fascination for me: tDCS, or transcranial direct-current stimulation. One new within the last week, the other almost exactly a year older.
Well, gosh.
It’s been a long time coming, but now it’s almost here: the third and final book of the Milkweed Triptych. The concluding volume, Necessary Evil, will hit shelves on Tuesday, April 30 in the US (via Tor) and the UK/Commonwealth (via Orbit). That’s just over three weeks from today!
And to celebrate the publication of Necessary Evil, many very hard working people have put together a brief West Coast signing tour. My first signing tour—I’m amazed, delighted, and more than a little nervous. I’ll also be doing a couple of singings in New Mexico after returning from the Pacific Coast.
I’ve posted the full schedule of my upcoming signings below the cut. (All of the stops are now included in the appearances on my homepage, too.) Feel free to stop by if you’re in the area, or just passing through. I’d love to see some friendly faces! And, if you feel so inclined, please spread the word.
Man, I am going crazy with the guest blogging this week. The irony is not lost on me, by the way, that I’m seemingly unable to keep my own blog up to date. Somehow if somebody invites me to write for a different site, suddenly I’m all over that. But when I remind myself to update my own blog I often tell myself to go jump in a lake. Whatever.
Anyway, today’s guest post is over at the Orbit Books blog. It’s a follow-up rumination on some of the topics that arose—too briefly—during my recent conversation with Charlie Stross about the Laundry novels.
Since Charlie generously offered the opportunity to do some guest posting at his blog while he’s away from home, I’ve managed to post more frequently to his website than I’ve managed to do here in the past year. In spite of the fact that I’m also away from home at the moment.
Anyway, my second post is now up over there.
Following up on our conversation over at the Orbit blog, Charlie Stross very kindly invited me to do some guest blogging over at his website while he’s programmed to within an inch of his life at Boskone.
My first post skyhooks from something we touched on very briefly, but which I find endlessly fascinating. If not a little bit disturbing.
