*Note: Amazon links included for convenience. I encourage you to buy my books (and all books) from your local independent store. Find the closest one via IndieBound.

**My story "For All of Us Down Here" appeared in F&SF's January/February 2014 issue, but that issue appeared in December 2013. So, you know, technically...

Holiday Shopping Note: Signed Books

If you happen to be planning to buy a book I wrote for a holiday gift, please buy it from a local store. If you would like a signed copy of a book I wrote, buy it from Longfellow Books in Portland and I'll go over there and sign it.

(This offer good year-round, but I like to mention it at the holidays.)
