I'll be on a dark poetry panel Saturday morning and will also be publicizing my novel Deviations: Covenant.

I'll have advance copies there (which I haven't seen yet). Covenant is available for pre-order at discount from Aisling Press -- www.aislingpress.com -- and is now also listed on Barnes & Noble. Street release is scheduled for November 28.

Back in the 80s my story "Lazuli" (Asimov's, Nov. '84) got me on the final ballot for the 1985 John W. Campbell Award for best new sf writer of the year, and "Moments of Clarity" (the first Full Spectrum anthology, Bantam Books, 1988) reached preliminary ballot for a Nebula Award, given by the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America.

Covenant is my first published novel (I started trying to sell novel-length work more than 30 years ago), so "excited" doesn't begin to describe how I feel right now. :)

I've also got a few local bookstore and library events planned, and I'll be at the St. Petersburg Times Festival of Reading at the end of the month.
