![]() ![]() When I'm not writing, I work as a policy advisor for the Cabinet Secretary of Energy, Minerals, & Natural Resources of the State of New Mexico. It's heavily influenced by Tana French, Raymond Chandler, William Gibson, and Max Gladstone (especially his TWO SERPENTS RISE, which you all should read). It's set in mid-future Los Angeles, which is utterly weird for me (the obsessive New Yorker), and also very challenging, because I've never done this-world SF at length before. Next project is a novel called Prescribed Burn, which is about water wars, arson, drought, smart grids (REALLY smart grids, the kind that talk back), and a coverup of a murder. And I just finished a novella called ROSE/HOUSE, which will be out from Subterranean Press in 2022 (that's the locked-room mystery with AIs, Le Corbusier, dead men with rose petals in their mouths, and a truly egregious Shirley Jackson reference that I was working on last time I was here on r/Fantasy). I also write many short stories - I love short fiction as an art form. It has more aliens, more space combat, and more kissing, as well as just as much political intrigue and people arguing about poetic allusion. ![]() ![]() The sequel, A Desolation Called Peace, came out in March of this year. My first novel, A Memory Called Empire, a space opera with a political thriller and a pretty obsessive look at assimilation and imperialism hidden inside it, came out in 2019 and won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 2020, which is still a remarkable phrase to type. ![]()
