About the Author
I write fantasy and science fiction of all sorts, at lengths ranging from novels to flash fiction. Over the years, I've picked up a Nebula Award, five Hugos and the World Fantasy Award--and have the pleasant distinction of having lost more of these awards than any other writer. I recently finished THE IRON DRAGON'S MOTHER, completing a trilogy begun with THE IRON DRAGON'S MOTHER twenty-five years ago. That's far longer than it took Professor Tolkien to complete his trilogy.In my spare time, I try to keep my blog up to date at www.floggingbabel.blogspot.com. Some of my shorter and more whimsical work can be found at my wife Marianne Porter's "nanopress," Dragonstairs Press at www.dragonstairs.com.
