    O'Reilly Network

    Fiction Publications

    My short fiction has appeared in the following anthologies:

  • Women who Run with the Werewolves
  • Horror Library, vol. 2

    I also used to write pen-and-paper RPGs. These predate the popularization of the Internet.

  • The Gatecrasher RPG, now heading for its 3rd edition.
  • Believe it or Else!, the Gatecrasher supplement. It even got an online review, and by some miracle that review is still available

    Writing I haven't done

    Every so often, I get a piece of email asking me if I am the Michael Lucas who wrote such-and-such. What follows is a list of books I have not written, even though my name appears on the cover. Everything I publish after 2002 gives my name as "Michael W. Lucas", to help avoid confusion.

  • Satan's Government
  • Aspects of Conrad's Literary Language
  • Understanding Business : Environments
  • The Western Alliance After Inf: Redefining U.S. Policy Toward Europe and the Soviet Union
  • Attachments for Prosthetic Dentistry: Introduction and Application
  • Handbook of the Acoustic Characteristics of Turbomachinery Cavities

    The prosthetic dentistry thing sounds pretty cool, though.
