Keith Brooke, the mind behind infinity plus, as well as author of Genetopia, has been kind enough to arrange for a full press Robersonfest on infinity plus this month.

First up are two bits of free story:

• "Red Hands, Black Hands", which originally appeared in the pages of Asimov's, was shortlisted for the 2004 Sidewise Award for Best Short-Form Alternate History. About the story, Nick Gevers in the pages of Locus said "The atmosphere is sumptuous, the invention lavish; the experience of reading the story is mind-expanding." The story, available in its entirety, is part of my Celestial Empire sequence, and is part of the forthcoming novel Fire Star: A Novel of the Celestial Empire.
  
  
• An excerpt from the pages of Here, There & Everywhere, Chapter 13: Her Majesty presents an episode from later in the life of Roxanne Bonaventure, illustrating the adage, "an observer affects the thing observed."

In addition to the fiction, there are three bits of related nonfiction.

• First, an Interview with me, conducted by Michael Colbert, in which I ramble on about the kinds of things I normally ramble about, including a bit of discussion about process.
  
  
• Finally, there are two reviews, both by Keith Brooke, of Here, There & Everywhere and Adventure: Volume One.

That's more me than anyone could possible be expected to take. I've Keith to thank for this, so, Thanks Keith!
