This is the area where I earn my keep, offering information (and chapter samples!) about my novels and story collections. For example, click here for a description and sample chapter of my newest novel, Kiln People, or newest graphic novel, The Life Eaters. Or click any book cover below for access to its description and to read a few chapters...

...or read several new and old SHORT STORIES (posted free!), ranging from serious thought experiments, to adventures, to a few that border on gonzo-weird. (And why not?)...

... or read articles I've written about the craft of fiction, which can be found in the NONFICTION section under "About Fiction."

Here's where I post my newest novels, story collections, and graphic novels.

Now complete, the Uplift Trilogy (Brightness Reef, Infinity's Shore, and Heaven's Reach) continues the stirring saga that began with Sundiver, Startide Rising, and The Uplift War.

Authorized by the Isaac Asimov estate, the Second Foundation Trilogy continues Isaac Asimov's famous Robots and Foundation universe.

Here are my stand-alone novels. Not part of any series or trilogy, they are some of my best-selling and best-acclaimed novels, nonetheless.

I recently began publishing in the "new" genre of the graphic novel. It's an exciting yet exhausting experience: writing a script, then supervising artists, producers, designers, letterers... very much like directing a mini-movie!

The Out of Time series, based on an exciting science fiction shared universe I created, is aimed toward the brightest young readers -- and those young at heart.

I've also published three collections of my most famous short stories, novellas, novelettes, and nonfiction articles.

Some of the short stories posted here have previously appeared in one of my story collections, Tomorrow Happens, The River of Time or Otherness (see above). Others have appeared exclusively in first-serial publications. You can read:
