Hugh Laurie & The Copper Bottom Band Wow “Kes”

Attended a wonderful blues/jazz concert tonight by Hugh Laurie & The Copper Bottom Band.

High point of an energetic evening was Gaby Moreno’s rendition of “The Weed Smoker’s Dream.” It’s rare that one is truly transported by the music, but for five minutes I felt I was sitting in a smoky 1920s club and being ensorcelled by the singer.

The Pure Cold LIght is reviewed

There is nothing weirder than getting a great review of a book that went out of print in 1994. (Okay, actually, it’s back these days in ebook format from Book View Cafe).

No Others Are Genuine

Sweet! I have just received contributor’s copies of the October-November 2013 double issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction, which contains my novelette “No Others Are Genuine.” On the stands and available in eformats almost immediately.  And in very good company, too, including my old pal Jack Dann, Paul Di Filipo, and the great Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
