Mur featured in Asimov’s column

This past May when I attended Balticon, I spent some time with James Patrick Kelly to talk about podcasting novels and the direction it’s taking. I am unabashed in my admiration for JPK, not just as a Huge and Nebula winning author, but he’s one of the few established authors who gets new media and [...]

About this Site

A while ago someone asked me if there was one central place to find all of my projects, and while I do have a home page, it doesn’t have one centralized feed to subscribe to, nor does it have easy access to my archives. So I decided to make the Murverse.
The Murverse is where you [...]

Follow-up to Tuesday’s Suicide Girls post

Wow, Tuesday’s post about social networking and the link caused some discussion! I want to bring up a couple of points.
SG was chosen because it was on my mind, but it was a poor example as you have to register with the site to be able to comment. It doesn’t change the fact that [...]

My Suicide Girls column, and the problem with social networking

My latest Suicide Girls column is live. This one has some bad words and talks about erotica, so I am lifting my usual “the site isn’t safe for work but the column is” statement.
And I’m very pleased with this one. I planned this for several weeks, thinking about what I’d say, how I’d write it. [...]

The Year of M&M Grand Finale - Be There!

In the beginning (of 2008) two arch-nemeses made a pact to conquer the world that would inevitably become their final battlefield. These titans were known to the masses that came to serve under their respective rules as Matt Wallace and Mur Lafferty, and they called their historic treaty The Year of M&M.
It prevailed.
In 2008 they [...]
