First he was beat up by U.S. customs guards, and now he's battling flesh-eating bacteria.

That sucks!

His blog is here, but be warned, there are some extremely graphic pictures in the post after the one I linked to.

I hope his recovery goes well and as speedily as one can expect for that kind of infection.

I Twitter. I also occasionally blog on the Escape Pod blog, which if you're here you shouldn't have much trouble finding.

Yeah, I heard about that and couldn't believe. Poor guy.

On the brightside, Blindsight was picked as one of the best SF/F novels of the last decade by Tor.com.
