Cover Art for My Anthology, ARMORED (Baen, 2012)
Check out the artwork for my forthcoming anthology ARMORED (Baen, 2012). The artwork is by Kurt Miller.
Here’s a description of the book: From Starship Troopers and Iron Man to Halo and Mechwarrior, readers and gamers have long been fascinated by the idea of going to battle in suits of personal, powered combat armor or giant mechs. This anthology explores the range of what can be done with the trope, from the near-future powered exoskelton technologies we might be seeing just a few years from now, to the combat armors of Starship Troopers and Halo, to the giant bipedal mechs of Mechwarrior. Featuring original stories by: Alastair Reynolds, Dan Abnett, Jack Campbell, Jack McDevitt, Simon R Green, Sean Williams, Genevieve Valentine, and more! (Full table of contents not yet final.) For more, see this article on io9 about the anthology.

3:19 pm May-25-2011Looking forward to this collection, not least because my story, Sticks and Stones, will be my first published short (at least in tangible book form).
Kurt Miller’s ability to produce kinetic, appropriate, imaginative illustrations at the drop of a keystroke constantly amazes me. His cover work for my next book, Undercurrents, is as strong and well-relized a cover as I’ve had.

5:13 pm Mar-22-2012I have to say I am a big fan of Robert A Heinlein and Starship Troopers was a great book. Obviously not to be confused with the movie and most certainly not the subsequent movies. However, I am interested that a CG movie is coming out.
