SPACE HOUNDS!

New release! Space Hounds, the beloved webcomic featuring dogs in duct-tape space suits can now be read as a graphic novel with cartoon art! Featuring T.J. Wooferson, Quinley Barker, and other lifeforms of various forms. The story is the same, but I think you’ll find the new images to be delightful.

New Musical Soundtracks

I’ve created musical soundtracks to complement many of my short story collections. I’ve had a lot of fun making these and I’m really pleased with how they’ve turned out. If there are particular stories of mine you enjoyed reading, you may enjoy hearing them as songs!

Here are two fun ones to start with:

New Chronicles of Tri-Galactic Trek!

Coming August 18, 2025, a new pair of stories starring Grawf, an ursine exchange officer on the starship Initiative!

Grawf is a bear from the planet Ursa Minuet, surrounded by uplifted cats and dogs from Earth. How can she maintain her identity and culture far from home, how can she share it with a bunch of cats and dogs, and what’s going on with a mysterious visitor and his hidden past?

Find out in Ursine Exchange Officer, the fourth book in the Chronicles of Tri-Galactic Trek series, following Labrador Lieutenant, Collie Commander, and Arctic Fox Android.

New release for March 2025: Maradia’s Robot Emporium

17 years ago, I wrote my first story about Maradia and the robots she built on Crossroads station. In the years that followed, I wrote many stories about her, some of which were published in Analog, Daily Science Fiction, and other magazines.

In my upcoming collection, Maradia’s Robot Emporium, you can find all these stories along with 10 brand new stories! This is my answer to Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot, to Johnny 5 from Short Circuit, to D.A.R.Y.L., and so many other works of fiction that explored the limits of humanity through the lens of artificial life.

I hope you love reading this book, and I hope you come to love Maradia and her many robots as much as I do!
