I have already received galleys for “The End of the Silk Road,” which was just accepted at F&SF two weeks ago, and it will probably be published in the very next issue (May/June 2014)! Sometimes publishing does move fast.

Analog has reviewed Old Mars and has this to say: “The stories are without exception engaging and full of the old sense-of-wonder. It’s hard to pick standouts in this crowd, but be sure not to miss David D. Levine’s ‘The Wreck of the Mars Adventure,’ a tale of Captain Kidd’s 17th century expedition to Mars….”

Lois Tilton of Locus Online calls out my “The Wreck of the Mars Adventure” in her year-end summary!

Here’s Lois Tilton at Locus Online‘s review of my story “The Wreck of the Mars Adventure” in anthology Old Mars: “This is indeed high adventure, a cracking good sailing yarn with skiffy values. I love the imaginative audacity of the premise. The author’s version of Mars is also remarkable. Highly entertaining. RECOMMENDED.”

Massive anthology 21st Century Science Fiction, including my “Tk’Tk’Tk,” is now available. It has been named one of PW’s best SF books of 2013 and got a starred review from Kirkus. Also, Book View Cafe’s new anthology Across the Spectrum includes my “Ukaliq and the Great Hunt.”

Old Mars, including my “Wreck of the Mars Adventure,” is now available for purchase, as is Mad Science Cafe, which includes a reprint of my “One Night in O’Shaughnessy’s Bar.” And the audiobook of my novella Second Chance releases on October 22 and is now available for pre-order.

My story “Artist’s Retrospective” has been mailed to subscribers of Daily Science Fiction. It will be up on the website in about a week.

Book View Café has entered into a deal with Audible.com to publish audiobooks of over 100 BVC titles! This deal includes my novella Second Chance, which will be narrated by James Patrick Cronin. In related news, I have recently narrated stories for two podcasts!

Flying Higher, 50+ poems about superheroes by SF/F writers and fans including ME, is now available as a FREE ebook!

SF Signal has posted the first review of the BVC edition of Second Chance, and it’s a doozy! Also, Daily Science Fiction is having a Kickstarter to fund payments to authors for the next six months, and if you pledge $100 or more you can get a short story critique from me. Finally, my story “One Night in O’Shaughnessy’s Bar” will be reprinted in an anthology titled Mad Science Café, coming soon from Book View Café.
