ANNOUNCING my 14th book, Bizarre Bipeds. This is a fun anthology of science fiction stories, including a novella and three shorter works.

I am DELIGHTED to announce that this book is a finalist in the 2010 e-book awards by EPIC.
You can read the first reviews, by talented flash fiction writer Mike Kechula and the best fantasy writer I know, Bent Lorentzen.
