… “novels that mix ideas and characters with imaginative journeys.” Yeah, that pretty much nails it.

Great interview, and congrats to David on the nomination and all the great stuff going on in his life. I hear you about the challenges of trying to find that work-life “balance”. Sounds like you’re onto something with your upcoming move. Looking forward to Acacia and its sequels, as well as your other books.

Karen, Christian, Pam,

Thanks for the kind wishes! It’s rather lovely that Mary put this together on my birthday. I don’t suppose she KNEW it was my birthday until… well, today, but the timing is nice.

-David.

Thanks!- to David for the interview and to MRK for posting it. It can be hard to know much about the Campbell nominees, so the introduction is nice, and helps me add to the books to buy list as well.

Very cool, it was neat to listen to the ones Jon Armstrong did on his podcast for last year’s nominees (I discovered his show that way, and discovered you that way, too, so maybe we both owe him a thanks for that). I’m glad you’re doing that this year. Oh, and a belated congrats on the novels and the Hugo nod!

- Christian
(Happy Birthday to David as well)

Great idea for a series of posts – thanks, Mary. And thanks David! Happy Birthday.

I’ve heard a few people talking about Acacia lately, so I definitely need to check it out.

Cheers,
Karen
