In Keeping With My Chronic Lateness…

Here is my short story “Pressure” translated into German as Lange Augen on Pulpcore, a hot new webzine in the Fatherland.

That’s right.  The editor, Heiner Eden, released his translation in July.  I am just now bragging about it.  What a crazy year it’s been!   😛

Dankeschun!

Hello, Internet! Plus a fun review in Dutch!!

Yes, I know, it’s been a seriously long while since I posted a single word upon this world wide web.  Things have been busy indeed in Carlson Land.  Big summer.  Many projects.  Much fun.  Even got some writing done!

Now that fall is upon us, I am putting my nose to the grindstone in order to finish Frozen Sky 4.  You don’t know it, but I’m having a great time with Vonnie and Ash and Ben and Harmeet and the sunfish and, yes, Colonel Ribeiro.  What a hardass.  There might be some strangers in this book, too!  Alien strangers, if you know what I mean.  😉

I promise to post more as I get back into the groove.

Meanwhile, here is a fun review for the Dutch edition of De Oorlag Van De Plaag, better known to you and me as Plague War.  I’m told Bol.com is a heavyweight in their market and the review says it’s a pretty good book in a similar vein to The Stand, which is high praise indeed.

Updates & Errata

  1.  We’re heading into the final day-and-a-half of the big ebook sale!  See info again here.
  2. My German is not what it should be since my wife is German!  In the new Visionarium anthology, the title of my short story “Pressure” is “Druck,” not Die Austrocknun.”  My bad.   😛
  3.  I really am actually kinda finally for real getting to the end of Frozen Sky 3.  Yesterday I went over 600 pages (this is writer math; the book is now 600 manuscript pages long after boiling the previously-written 580 pages back down to 540 pages to keep it mean and tight), which means FS3 is officially longer than Interrupt.  FS3 is loaded with aliens and bad guys and astrophysics and politics and space battles and shocking revelations about the evolution of life on Europa.  That’s right!!!  It’s a sci fi thriller!!!!!
  4.  This poor schlep is FNEE Lieutenant Pereira.  You do not want to be him.sneak peak2
