Countering the Rumors and an Author Interview

Contrary to popular opinion, I have not been sucked into the vortex of Civilization IV (yet). I spent most of yesterday after buying the game loading it onto my computer . . . and then had to grade quizzes and write lectures. But I did bring up the opening screen of a game. Bwahahahahaha! But don't fear. I remember Civilization II, so I know how addicting the game can get, and how much time it can suck up because there's no real convenient stopping point. I certainly don't intend to let it affect my writing schedule.

But we'll see. *grin*

For now, here's an interview with David J. Williams for the paperback release of his debut novel, MIRRORED HEAVENS. I met David at Balticon. Very nice guy. I've also already read his book and I can honestly say that it's a rollercoaster ride. Once you start, you won't have a chance to take a breath, let alone stop. Definitely a book I'd recommend, especially for the sci-fi lovers out there. But I'll let him explain in his own words:

*******************************

A tale of 22nd century espionage, David J. Williams' MIRRORED HEAVENS has been described by Stephen Baxter as "Tom Clancy interfacing Bruce Sterling", and is in bookstores now.





1) Tell us a little about MIRRORED HEAVENS.

My agent sold it as "John LeCarre on SF crack"; I've never managed to get my
hands on any such drug, but I suspect if one took it one would see visions
of spaceplane hijacks and maglev train chases while various spies, handlers,
and agents ran desperate missions and double-crossed/triple-crossed each
other.

2) Who are your antagonists?
