Online Non-Fiction:

Sorry, this section isn't complete yet. Many of the pieces I had online have recently disappeared because the place I had them disappeared. I have copies that I may get around to posting someday.

To tide you over in the meantime, I have an article at Phantastes. It's about swearing in fantasy worlds. "What the Kelk is that Dwarf-Lover Doing?: Building a Better World Through Offensive Language." I had fun with it. Maybe you will, too.

There's a book review of Spider Robinson's Callahan's Key that was originally published on Zealot.

Strange Horizons published a fun little crit piece called "The Suburbs of Amber."

Skirt! magazine ran Camp Sparta (originally titled "Mom Vs. Camp Sparta"), in which my mom and Girl Scouting have sliiiightly different goals. Guess who wins.

I did a science-for-the-lay-person piece for Strange Horizons: Bose-Einstein Condensates. If you don't understand the physics here, please write and let me know.

I also have several book reviews and guest editorials on Speculon:

A review of Tim Powers' Declare.

A really bitter guest editorial about subversion in children's literature.

A review of Orson Scott Card's Shadow of the Hegemon.

A review of Connie Willis's Passage.

A review of Terry Pratchett's The Thief of Time.

An interview of YA fantasy author Garth Nix.

An essay about YA genre fiction: "Drawing the Line."

A review of Terry Pratchett's The Last Hero.

A review of Nalo Hopkinson's Skin Folk.

A review of Spider Robinson's The Free Lunch.

A review of Iain M. Banks' Look to Windward.
