Today was outdoor location shooting for Flash Forward, the ABC TV series pilot based on my novel of the same name. Carolyn and I were on hand from 7:45 a.m until noon, then had to head to LAX for the flight back to Toronto. We had an incredible three days in Los Angeles. Everybody treated […]
Another fabulous day on the set of Flash Forward. We were there from about 7:30 a.m. to 7:15 p.m. (meaning we worked a much shorter day than just about everyone else!). Had lunch with Sonya Walger, but can’t show a picture of her because she was in costume all day. (For those trying to divine […]

Richard Curtis was my first literary agent (and he still represents several of my friends, including James Alan Gardner, Linux guru Marcel Gagné, Harlan Ellison, and Greg Bear). Richard is one of the most insightful writers about the book business, and here he sheds light on the mystery of why ebooks cost so much. The […]
I’ve been pimpin’ for months on behalf of James Alan Gardner’s remarkable “The Ray-Gun: A Love Story,” as you can see here. And I was mightily disappointed when the final Nebula ballot was released last week, and it wasn’t on it. This story made not one but two year’s best anthologies, after all, and was […]
As Don stood, looking at Sarah, the moment came back to him, and he shook his head in amazement. It had been front-page news, back when there were front pages, all over the world. On March first, 2009, a radio message had been received from a planet orbiting the star Sigma Draconis. So says Chapter […]
