  • Listening to The Language of Moths

    Hey, cool, I hadn’t seen that this was available until today, but here is an audiobook version of my Nebula nominated novelette, The Language of Moths.  I love the image they gave the story, and even better: if you go through the link above to the audible.com page for the book, you can hear the…
