		<title>I&#8217;m on Broadway!: A Publishing Parable</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t believe it! All my life, I&#8217;ve been waiting for this moment. From my first dance lesson at age six  with Madame Brosier to this date, 20 years later—at last, I&#8217;m on Broadway!
“Welcome to the Great White Way! We can&#8217;t wait to see you dance.”
Thanks! I&#8217;m going to be appearing in the Majestic in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moxyland&#8211;The Next 100</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My last post may have made you think that Moxyland is somehow old-fashioned&#8211;some kind of South African The Sound and the Fury. Good. Because it is. Most reviewers of this novel have pointed to how new it is, how it bristles with punk energy, how it is edgy and eats its way out of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snow Day!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s right, America. It&#8217;s a snow day!
Snow days are different. They&#8217;re not just days without school&#8211;Saturdays and Sundays. They&#8217;re not just holidays&#8211;Thanksgivings and Christmases. No, snow days are special.
They&#8217;re days off for no reason but insufficient infrastructure.
But that&#8217;s the whole point. A snow day is a suspension of reality because reality has failed. In that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moxyland&#8211;The First 100 Pages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, at last, I&#8217; reading the magnificent Moxyland by Lauren Beukes. Yes, I&#8217;m late to this game, but being American and a lover of paper books and a slow reader, it has taken me awhile.
Coming late to this game, I&#8217;ll not offer a traditional review. What could I say that hasn&#8217;t already been said about [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death&#8217;s Disciples Arrives!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
That&#8217;s right, world. Come &#8216;n&#8217; git it!
My newest novel, Death&#8217;s Disciples, has arrived from the brilliant folks at Angry Robot Books!
Here&#8217;s what SF Book Reviews had to say:
&#8220;The plot itself is fantastic, full of twists and turns and plenty of surprises. It will keep you guessing right up to the end just what is going [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Eternal Adolescent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry.
That&#8217;s what I have to say first, for being gone so long. I&#8217;m sorry. Since I last wrote on this blog, I&#8217;ve starred as Pseudolus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and failed to get even the part of Repo Man 1 in The Full Monty. I&#8217;ve also had two [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Angel of Death in America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In three more days, The Angel of Death is coming to America. This novel, which has been described as Silence of the Lambs meets The Exorcist, has won rave reviews in the rest of the world. Here&#8217;s an excerpt from one such review by Dave-Brendon de Burgh:
&#8220;I found Angel of Death to be an utterly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sneeze-Sex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sick. Yes I am, but not in the way that you think if you&#8217;ve read Angel of Death.
(By the way, my latest novel will be inflicted on America this Tuesday, September 28.)
I&#8217;m sick with a cold. Sneezing. Coughing. The whole bit.
I grew up believing that sneezing was the way my body got rid of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Neanderthal&#8217;s Lament</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a hundred milennia, we have hunted here.
Bison, elk, sloth, woolly rhino&#8211;all have fallen before us.
Our spears bite from an arm&#8217;s throw away.
Nothing can survive us.
Nothing but them&#8211;these skinny, strange ones, these ones who eat bugs and eels and leaves and fish and anything they can get into their mouths. They look like us, but they do [...]]]></description>

		<title>They Are So Beautiful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you seen them? They are so beautiful! They are alive before we are born, and they are still alive when we die. They have skin like stone and can crush our bodies with the slightest touch.
Beneath that skin, though, runs life. Taste of it once, and you can live forever, can send your children [...]]]></description>
