Science Fiction Author of the JUMP 225 Trilogy
As of today, I can now join the ranks of the electronically published. Yes, via the Pyr-o-mania blog, I see that “Infoquake” is now available on the Amazon Kindle. Not only is it available, but it’s one of the first five titles available on Kindle from Pyr.
Futurist Ray Kurzweil has suggested in an interview that we will be using a virtual reality network almost exactly like the one I proposed in “Infoquake” as soon as the late 2020s.
Two new bits of book promotion: a 30-minute audio interview with me by Adventures in Sci-Fi Publishing, and my answers to reader questions on “Stargate” writer/producer Joseph Mallozzi’s blog.
LibraryThing has a program called LibraryThing Early Reviewers, wherein certain publishers make review copies of their books available to LibraryThing members. All you have to do is sign up for LibraryThing, go to the Early Reviewers Request List, and click the big “Request It!” button next to “Infoquake.” If you’re selected, you get a copy of the book, which you are then theoretically supposed to read and review on the site.
There’s an interview with me that’s been posted to the SFNovelists.com group. Simon Haynes, author of the Hal Spacejock series, has put the interview up on his Blogspot blog and his LiveJournal, God bless him. Since this is a group interview, it might still pop up on other SFNovelists member blogs too.
I have a “Big Idea” piece up on John Scalzi’s Whatever blog, talking about Adolf Hitler and the inspiration for my novels “Infoquake” and “MultiReal.”
Every week for the next four weeks, I’m going to hold a contest here on my blog. And the winner of each contest will receive copies of “Infoquake,” “MultiReal,” “The Solaris Book of New Science Fiction, Volume Two,” and Mervyn Peake’s “Titus Alone.” Read the full article for details.
Solaris Books is offering “Infoquake” wallpaper on the Downloads section of their website. So if you’ve ever wanted a hi-res closeup of Stephan Martiniere artwork on your desktop, now’s your chance.
After much distraction and delay, tonight I have finally posted the complete chapters 1 through 7 of “Infoquake” in audio read by the author. Chapter 1 of “MultiReal” has been posted as well.
After seeing the rush of new reviews for “Infoquake,” I decided to do a round of vanity Googling and found several more that I had been unaware of.
