Audio Fiction

"Memorial at Copernicus" is an alternate-history story that occurs on the Moon, and was my first story to be considered a "professional" sale. It originally appeared in the third issue of Redstone Science Fiction, in August 2010.

And now it's also the first of my stories to ever be recorded. New Zealand author Amanda (AJ) Fitzwater recorded the story, and I'm especially pleased with how well she rendered the main character's Russian accent.

You can find the audio story on Redstone Science Fiction's audio page or by this direct link: "Memorial at Copernicus" audio.

The Gray Man on YouTube

With a total of four videos now available -- and hopefully more to come in 2012 -- we've started our own YouTube Playlist. Most of the videos feature the kind of slipshod guitar playing and mediocre vocals that you've come to expect from the Gray Man.

If you don't want to go through the YouTube interface, you can select from the individual videos below:

Blog, Blog, Blogging Along

We're still having fun with our Ghost Writer blog, with our continuing (though not continuous) series of space history posts. If you ever read what we post, thank you, and we'd love it if you left comments.

Download-Ables: Book Excerpt, Essays, Short Story

Free downloads available:

The downloads are FREE, though if you like them we do accept donations ... see the 'donate' button in the right-hand column.

Novel Status

Available to a good publisher, a realistic science fiction novel of survival and sacrifice on the Moon:

Stormie and Frank Pastorelli go WALKING ON THE SEA OF CLOUDS in a near-future technological drama about the risks people will take, the emergencies they'll face, and the sacrifices they'll make to survive and thrive as members of the first independent, commercial lunar colony.

2012 Is an Election Year ... Vote For The Anti-Candidate!

The Anti-Candidate is still available as a write-in candidate for any elective office, anywhere -- although we understand Virginia residents may have trouble with their state's restrictions on write-ins -- all we ask is that you spell our name correctly.

If you're interested in "Politics As Unusual," take a look at the Anti-Campaign page -- or listen to our theme song, "Playing Politics". Let us know what you think, and yes: donations are accepted.

Social Media Central

The Gray Man is active (more or less) on several different social media platforms. Contact us on your favorite:

Send a friend request or connection request, if you like; but if we don't actually know you, or you think we might not recognize your name, please send a brief explanation as well.

The Gray Man's Other Pursuits ...

Need a speech written or edited? We'll give you professional results -- at professional prices.

Need a speaker for an upcoming event, or a narrator for a film or video? We'll do that -- price negotiable.

Want a hand-crafted, musical-instrument-inspired chair? No promises, since we don't have lots of woodworking time these days ... but if we do, it'll really cost you.
