Hard to pick a neglected title from a long list of neglected titles, but I always think it's THE HOOD and THE ESCAPEMENT (both pandemic victims), and SIX LIVES that fared the worst. It goes like that, I guess. Ours is not to reason why, etc etc.

One of my more neglected titles, this one, but currently very cheap in e-book on Amazon UK, if anyone wants to take a punt. I'm very fond of this book!

I just re-read Jack Carter's Law. It may not have the heft of Ted Lewis' masterpiece Jack's Return Home (aka Get Carter), but damn if it isn't as perfect a noir story as can be. Jack runs around London searching for a snitch; bad things happen, gloriously.

I bought the little 3D printed dead astronaut figure at Seattle’s U-District fair last year. Somehow, I felt close to her.

I'm assuming the upcoming Frankfurt Book Fair will turn me into an overnight millionaire as publishers around Earth queue up for my latest offerings. Either that or I'll get myself a hot dog, which is also something in these tough times.

my life since sort of getting back to work is mostly copy-edits on various texts, listening to various audiobook narrator samples, poring over cryptic royalty statements, writing a real stinker of an SF story and hoping someone somewhere buys a copy of the three coffin problem.

Not really a fan of the idea of "supporting" authors, to be fair. More of the "I'll read a book if I like the look of the book" person, authors be damned. Saying that, though, who could resist a vampire judge solving fiendishly-complicated mysteries in cod-Medieval Europe?

Much ❤️ to anyone who bought the ⚰️⚰️⚰️Problem (🧛) so far, hugely appreciated! And if you haven't and want to support a poor human (definitely not a vampire honest) author in these difficult time, it's available everywhere! Fly, my creatures, fly!

What I'm surprised we still don't have is a radical activist anti-Internet group carrying out undersea cable sabotage operations to shut down large chunks of the Internet. It's fairly easy to do and, arguably, the best thing to save humanity and the planet.

Mid-week Wild Shelfie: Astounding @analogsf.bsky.social Jared came up with the wild shelfie idea a while back and we never did much with it, but it's been fun to play with more recently. This is a fun transitional run of Astounding to Analog in the early 60s, found in an Oxfam bookshop.
