Edmund R. Schubert

I'm going to be at The Regulator Bookstore in Durham NC on Saurday, April 4th, 2009, doing a free workshop with fellow author James Maxey titled "Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Getting Published But Didn't Know Whom To Ask." The workshop is free (did I mention it's free?) and will be followed by a book signing. The event begins at 3pm.

Also, I've added  new article to the On Writing section of this website. It's called "Metaphors, Similes, and Analogies, Oh My..." and I have faith in your ability to figure out what it is about.

My novel, Dreaming Creek, is available; below is a sneak peek at the cover. To get a brief synopsis, click here: www.edmundrschubert.com/dreamingcreek.htm

About Dreaming Creek, SFRevu.com wrote:

"Schubert's writing style is almost thriller-like in its clarity and the short chapters make for quick reading. He does not bog down with detail, nor does he attempt to hammer the reader over the head with his own social observations. It appears, in fact, that he quite simply put the characters on the page and let them do their thing, allowing the reader to draw what conclusions they might. I imagine that's a hard thing to do, but Schubert does it quite well. If I hadn't researched and found out that [Dreaming Creek] was his first novel I would have thought him an old pro. He certainly writes like one."

 

Things related to my role as editor of Orson Scott Card's InterGalactic Medicine Show, as well as the new Tor anthology (2008) of the same name, can be found here: www.edmundrschubert.com/intergalacticmedicineshow.htm

Edmund R. Schubert loves stories. Always has; always will. When he was in the second grade, his teacher would bribe him with trips to the library to get him to do his math and science. Little has changed since then...    (For the full bio (as well as a self-inflicted headshot), click "Bio & Interviews" on the list on the left) Or here: www.edmundrschubert.com/biointerviews.htm
