I feel more for his family. I do know them all, to an extent. I feel more for the voters of Moore County, who were under-served by a man who was in no position to be put into place by the PuppetMaster. Art Pope wanted Richard Morgan gone, and he pumped so much money into the Republican primary in Moore County that it was impossible that Joe wouldn't win. Alas, he has been ineffective in the legislature....

is isbn: 0575075139, and is written by Richard Morgan whom apparently picked up a gong for this. Unlike this (my blog) it revels in trying to be several forms of writing at once and getting them to work together.

Hey guys, Simon Spanton, Richard Morgan's editor at Gollancz, and I have been exchanging emails regarding hype. He had some issues with my review of Morgan's The Steel Remains ( Canada , USA , Europe ), and we talked things over. I would have liked to discuss the topic a bit further, as our definition of hype and all it encompasses appears to differ to some extent, but my getting on that plane bound...

We have sent letters to the legislators receiving the PAC money from ElectriCities. We will watch Richard Morgan's campaign to see if he gets anything. Drew Saunders lost his bid in Huntersville and one aspect was his association with the ElectriCities lobbyist where he admitted calling to get her raises and promotions.

Hype has a funny way of raising one's expectations to an unattainable plateau. Richard Morgan wasn't even halfway done with the manuscript of a forthcoming fantasy novel which had yet to be titled, and already we were hearing how the author would turn the genre on its head. And given Morgan's talent and reputation, all of us believed that if someone could do it, then the author was the most likely...

Richard Morgan’s recently-posted essay about the bitchiness and infighting of the sf/f fiction scene caused a flurry of reactions, some sympathetic, others less so. Gary Gibson’s response chimes best with my own feelings on the matter, though: “To me, I’d say all the bitchiness is a sign that things aren’t nearly so moribund within the genre as [...]

I enjoy science-fiction elements in my thrillers, especially as they’re applied by Greg Bear, Michael Marshall (Smith), and Richard Morgan. So I was interested to read this alarming report at the PC World Web site about the threats we might face in the future when science fiction meets science fact: The writers envisioned a near future where quantum computing, and its foundations in parallel

With Richard Morgan's The Steel Remains ( Canada , USA , Europe ) being one of the most eagerly anticipated fantasy novel of 2008, and with the positive advance buzz the book has generated thus far, I've been wanting to do something about it for a while. I pitched the idea of a giveaway to Simon Spanton at Gollancz, and I was very happy when he decided to run along with it! The long and the short of...
