Here’s an interview I conducted earlier this year in Ottawa with Nigel Beale, a literary critic and rare books specialist. We talk about the future of books, bookselling and copyright — it was a great chat.
All About:
Podcast
My Podcast is a regular feed in which I read from one of my stories for a few minutes at least once a week, from whatever friend’s house, airport, hotel, conference, treaty negotiation or what-have-you that I’m currently at. Here’s the podcast feed.
Here’s part three of the podcast of my story in progress, MARTIAN CHRONICLES, being written for Jonathan Strahan’s YA Mars book, LIFE ON MARS.
The lovely folks at the Starship Sofa podcast recorded audio versions of my recent short story To Go Boldly (published in The New Space Opera 2), as well as the Publishers Weekly article describing my forthcoming short story collection With a Little Help.
Last week I sat down for an interview with the excellent Command Line podcast at Philcon and recorded a long talk on sundry subjects ranging from politics to creativity to all my forthcoming projects.
Here’s part two of Spider Robinson’s reading of my story Human Readable, recorded for my collection WITH A LITTLE HELP.

The audiobook of my latest novel, Makers has been published by Random House Audio, strictly in DRM-free formats over the net (this means that Apple won’t carry it in the iTunes store, even though Audible was willing to carry it without DRM).
The reading is by Bernadette Dunne, a very talented actor. I just listened to this for the first time yesterday and I was blown away by Dunne’s reading. I’m a huge audiobook nut, and I’m incredibly glad to have professional audiobook adaptations of my books from Random House — and doubly grateful to them for supporting my commitment to DRM-free distribution. When you buy this book, you own it. The “terms of service” are “Don’t violate copyright law,” not “By buying this audiobook, you agree that we get to come over and kick you in the ass.”
