  Tor/Forge's Blog — Authority: 421
  By Charles de Lint The thing I enjoyed most about putting together my Muse & Reverie Newford collection was having the opportunity to revisit this setting and all these characters that are so dear to my heart. I don’t reread my own work except for a situation such as this—or when I’m looking up a ...

  Tor/Forge's Blog — Authority: 421
  By Tony Gonzales Storytelling in novels is a unique dialog between authors and readers. When delivered well, the imagination is engaged on every page, as the audience is lured deeper into the tale and the world in which it takes place. The reader may become so immersed that he or she might wish to experience the ...

  Tor/Forge's Blog — Authority: 421
  By Brenda Cooper Human history is bloody with hatred over thin differences like age, tribe, and skin color. So what will happen when we’re really different? We are close to being able to use genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and physical augmentation to create true truly new versions of humanity.  What then? ...

  Tor/Forge's Blog — Authority: 421
  By Lawrence Watt-Evans A couple of years ago I was watching TV, and came across The Scarlet Pimpernel —the classic 1934 version, starring Leslie Howard as Sir Percy and Merle Oberon as Lady Blakeney. I watched it happily, and when it was over I said to myself, “There should be more stories like that.” And ...

  Tor/Forge's Blog — Authority: 421
  By James Frenkel, Senior Editor I was working at Dell Books and the Delacorte Press when they published Karl Alexander’s Time After Time , a way-cool novel about H.G. Wells and Jack the Ripper. I loved that novel (still do) and the movie, too. I think I fell in love with Mary Steenburgen then (as her co-star ...

  Tor/Forge's Blog — Authority: 421
  By Cory Doctorow This column was originally written for MAKE Magazine in late 2008. I became a dad in February 2008—during the run-up to The Day, I worked my butt off, getting as much work in the can as I could before my life got taken over by the fruit of my loins. All that hard work paid off. One day, I ...

• Universe in Flux—Canonizing the Companion

  
  Tor/Forge's Blog — Authority: 421
  By Jake Black It was 2006, I believe, when I was first approached about writing an encyclopedia of Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game Universe. I thought the prospect was extremely exciting. I had done some smaller encyclopedic works for other properties, but nothing like this would be. At the time, I hadn’t ...

• The covers that got away

  
  The Art Department — Authority: 541
  I got batch of cover designs in today and immediately regretted that the one I liked the best, visually speaking, would never fly for the cover. In this case, with good reason — it looks great but isn’t quite suited for the audience. Luckily, there are others in the batch that also also very good and more ...

• Steampunk: The Devil Wears Goggles

  
  Tor/Forge's Blog — Authority: 421
  By Cherie Priest Pick a genre book—any genre, any book—and the cover will probably provide a satisfactory shorthand for where it ought to be shelved. Wizards, elves, and knights? You’ve got yourself a fantasy novel. Fangs and a matte black background? Horror. And so forth. But a couple of years ago when I ...
