My friend John Scalzi was kind enough to let me borrow his blog today, where I talk a little about the central idea behind Aftershocks.

AFTERSHOCKS giveaway winners
Sorry for the delay, but I had to stay mostly offline this past weekend and yesterday because I was away on SECRET BUSINESS, so I didn’t get around to spinning up the old Random Numbers Generator and let Mr. Computer pick 10 entries out of the hat until this morning. Here are the winners (with…

I’ve had more than a few people asking where they can read the two stories of mine that were used for the (amazingly done) episodes in Tim Miller and David Fincher’s “Love Death + Robots” on Netflix. Episode 10 of Love Death + Robots, “Shape-shifters”, is based on my short story “On the Use of…

News from Poland
