Here’s a bit from my forthcoming novel Rembrandt’s Station, scheduled for release on January 5. Stay tuned! Some stationmaster he’d turned out to be. Seven years of faultless work, and all it took was one slip to bring serious trouble to the planet he...

Has it already been a week? It has! Here’s a bit from the Kepler story: “I surrender to you,” he said, carefully, because those little ears did not look any better than the tiny eyes did. Still, they had seen him, so they were not like the plains stalkers, which...
