Fiction

The published stories were written for Datamation back around 1970. All but one have been rentered and that one contains a massive flow chart that seems not to read very well in on-screen format. (Note, I'm the author of the pieces, not the copyright holder. I don't think it's likely that whoever holds the copyright nowadays will want them taken down, but they have only to ask ...). Unlike the rest of the material on the site, these are not published under the Creative Commons License. The copyright holder can, if they choose, restrict your access to and use of them. The unpublished stuff is just that -- unpublished and, in many cases, unfinished.

PANGLOSS LIVES!

Some fragments of a novel that will never be written. The original plan was to retrace Dante's path to Hell in reverse with lots of hopefully entertaining satire and social commentary. The problem turned out to be that I am a deeply flawed individual who finds Dante to be terminally boring. I'm quite sure that is my fault, not that of Signor Dante or his translators.

What does the working title -- Pangloss Lives! -- have to do with the content of the story? Nothing whatsoever. But it is a really fantastic title, No? (At least for those who have read Candide).
