Blog: Cory Doctorow’s craphound.com

I’m working on locating more interesting writing blogs to include in the blogroll, and here is the first. Cory Doctorow is a professional fiction writer with three novels (that I read about on his blog) and some short stories (including a short story collection). He has another collection coming soon.

He posts a good deal of news on his blog but also some short fiction, including When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth. The link there is to his announcement that the story is appearing in The Rake, along with links to previous podcast entries. I think one would need to be a bit net savvy to enjoy this story, but other than that it’s good fun.

His books are:

• Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town
• Eastern Standard Tribe
• DOWN and OUT in the MAGIC KINGDOM
• A Place So Foreign and 8 More
• Overclocked (forthcoming)

I have to say that the first short story didn’t rocket him to the top of my reading list, but it did pique my interest, and I’m definitely going to take a further look at some of the novels and I’ll add his blog to the blogroll.
