In July 2013, I served as the “editor-in-residence” for the Codex Writing Group, which meant basically I was asking a month-long AMA (“Ask Me Anything”) interview. With Codex’s permission, I’m re-posting the Q&As here on my blog. The questions were all provided by members of Codex.

We just ran an internal contest on speculative history. Would you consider an Alternative History piece? Something in the vein of what Turtledove turns out?

Sure, I’m definitely open to Alternate History. I’m not likely to publish something that has a very subtle alternate aspect to it, but otherwise I’m definitely open to it in general.

And thanks for the question, because that actually reminded me of a story I should totally try to reprint because it’s one of my favorite alternate history stories, and I don’t think I’ve actually had any in Lightspeed as of yet.

From October 1 – October 31, I’ll be running a Kickstarter campaign for a new project called HELP FUND MY ROBOT ARMY!!!, an anthology of improbable, futuristic, magical, & alternate-world crowdfunding projects. Please check it out, consider backing it, and, if you’re so inclined, spread the word!
