This one was an urban fantasy retelling of the story of Tiresias, the man who lived forever in the form of a cicada. It’s a good story for hot summers and hedonism, so amethyst made a certain amount of sense.

BSFA Event Info
Just a reminder for London-area people that I’ll be interviewed at the British Science Fiction Association event next Wednesday, 24 October– and for people outside the London area, you can follow along on the livestream at the BSFA’s Twitter feed.
Driving Ambition on Kobo and Kindle
Driving Ambition is now available to download for the Kobo and the Kindle– arguably a good way to read a book about virtual systems, artificial intelligences, and beings who exist only online.
Print copies will be available later, and I’ll post ordering links when that happens.
Here’s the link for the Kobo version, and here’s the link for the Kindle version.
