Paul's Writing

PAUL'S ANALOG STORIES


My novelette "Shotgun Seat" appeared in the July/August 2008 issue of Analog magazine. (It received an Honorable Mention in the prestigious anthology The Year's Best Science Fiction, 26th Edition.)
The main characters are trucker Claude Dremmel and his electronic assistant Doll Box, along with robotics expert Alice Owen.

It was on the shelf in numerous book stores and newsstands.

A big thanks to Overdrive magazine for a fine review of this story.
The story's 'interior art' illustration was done by Mark Evans. He did a fantastic job of depicting the key scene.

"Shotgun Seat" was reprinted in the March 2009 issue of Esli, the premier Russian language science fiction magazine.

The Russian Cyrillic title is МЕСТО ДЛЯ СТРЕЛКА, which (the original English being ideomatic jargon) translates to something like "The Seat of the Shooter." The following text explains, "Unlike during pioneer times, nobody gets shot."

My story "Rule Book" appeared in the March 2011 issue of Analog magazine. (No interior art, for this story, however being named on the cover is even better.)
