Welcome
Welcome to my corner of the Web at The
Eyrie. Feel free to browse around, read free fiction, and learn about
my research in linguistics. (The preferred pronunciation of my last name
is 'pie', like the Greek letter.)
I am a Second Place winner of the Writers of the Future Contest
(volume XXIII), a 2008 Prix Aurora Awards nominee in the category of "Best
Short-Form Work in English" for my novelette Metamorphoses in Amber,
and a Finalist for the 2009 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.
