Latest updates:

The Cold Equations trilogy: Drama in the galactic computing industry!

The video game part of Silent Weapons is superb and the bit about The Body Electric is shorty, poignant and witty.

Do these form more or less spontaneously in your mind, or do you have to sit down and carefully compose it?

Which novels are next on your list?

Well, mostly spontaneous, but they require a bit of tweaking.

I think I just laughed myself to death. Typing this is just my body's natural autonomic functions dwindling down...

(I should add that Bacco is based on my great-grandmother, not my grandmother........)

Also, Sonek Pran is a folk musician, not a country musician. I wouldn't be caught dead writing a country musician......

Una McCormack · February 3 2013, 04:54 PM

Awesome!

David Mack · February 3 2013, 05:38 PM

Absolutely brilliant stuff. I might ask S&S to replace the back-cover copy on my books with some of these.

Kirks_Flying_Wig · February 3 2013, 07:43 PM

That Q&A one would definitely explain a LOT of things!

The ABYSS one is hilarious! A true Bond villian!

I lol'd at all of the ones I read, though!

Deranged Nasat Vice Admiral Location: Warped off into the sunset. With fond memories of most of you, and not a little sorrow at leaving.	Re: The New Expanded Humorous Novel List Two more. I'm enjoying myself far too much here. In which Janeway throws her support behind the "Not Dead" contingent and decides to come back to work. She also threatens to unleash the apocalypse if the powers that be refuse her. Realizing the scales must be balanced, she proves she means business by making her own godson die in her place, along with the woman who dared replace her as top dog on Voyager. Chakotay wisely pledges himself to Janeway rather than stand in her way; as such, the One Who Is Not Dead gives him a position as her consort, rather than punishment. In which the Tzenkethi decide they're tired of being arseholes and go make some friends. They proudly present these friends to the Federation, smug in the knowledge that Picard and Dax can't trust any of theirs. The Federation responds by sending the Tzenkethi a box with a crank on it; when the Tzenkethi turn the crank, Cardassians spring out and make them jump. Shaken, the Tzenkethi stop plotting and agree to call this one a draw. __________________ We are all the sum of our tears.

Re: The New Expanded Humorous Novel List Latest updates: The Cold Equations trilogy: Drama in the galactic computing industry! In which Noonien Soong secretly replaces himself with a robot, and then hides for fear that he'll discover what he's up to. While in hiding, he decides to release a new model of Data, fully upgraded for modern LCARS and featuring an impressive array of optional extras. When the Breen threaten to mass-produce a cheaper version, Soong gets spiteful and blows up their factory. Realizing he's also blown his cover, he then replaces his robot-self with another robot, before he can cotton on. Data returns as his own creator, like some creepy changeling-Pinocchio. The reborn Data immediately announces that he plans to release Lal 2.0, making himself instantly obsolete. Everyone facepalms. In which the Breen waste most of their time and money playing video games. This causes problems when they eventually realize that the lizardmen worth 200 points each are actually their allies. Pissed off, the Gorn Imperator releases cheat codes to the Federation, undermining the Breen's winning streak. Meanwhile, President Bacco faces political embarrassment when it's revealed that her best friend and closest supporter is actually a pre-programmed robot. In which Wesley tries to sabotage a major art project, claiming in a snotty fashion that "graffiti doesn't count as real art". Getting sniffy about this, the machine responsible tries to destroy the galaxy, and only relents when Wesley agrees to hire it. __________________ We are all the sum of our tears.
