To observe an eclipse is to witness a rare and unusual event. Under darkened skies the sun becomes a negative image of itself, its corona transforming the landscape into a strange space where anything might happen, and any story may be true… In the spirit of classic science fiction anthologies such as Universe, Orbit, and Starlight, master anthologist JonathanStrahan (The Best Science...

I've just started podcasting a new story: MARTIAN CHRONICLES is a story I'm working on for JonathanStrahan's forthcoming LIFE ON MARS young adult anthology. It's a story about the colonization of Mars by free-market absolutists and the video-games they play. They say you can't smell anything through a launch-hood, but I still smelled the pove in the next seat as the space-attendants...

I get (deservedly) varying levels of chiding/crap from the three of them. The afternoon is a blur like all first days at a convention are.
