  • Gah. I need to talk about lost now. #
  • Still can’t find my thumb drive and the panic is starting to set in. The latest draft of a revised story is on there. And future articles. #
  • @thejordache I am right there with you. Everyone was talking about how nice it would be this weekend and skipped over how cold it is now. #
  • @johnjosephadams Just some panels on the business and, for example, writing for video games and other multimedia projects. Things like that. #
  • For someone who grew up in NJ, I sometimes can’t stand being here… #
  • Last night I was down near Coney Island and they had Baltika No. 6 in the bodegas there so I picked up two bottles. Score. #
  • My latest theory for the errant thumb drive is the cats knocked it off the table and batted it around and under something. #
  • Today is likely to be a heavy day of tweets for me. Just giving fair warning. #
  • It is so cold in my office today. I feel like I need gloves. #
  • I would like to one day write a song as mournful as Eleanor Rigby. Though it won’t have George Martin’s arrangements. #
  • @levarburton Good luck, sir. #
  • In an odd turn of events, Paul Draper, former lead singer of Mansun, is now my friend on Facebook. #
  • my ipod seems to like In Rainbows today, both the main album and the 2nd disc. #
  • @lvdpal No love for the vest? #
  • @thejordache I DVR it, though Friday night will be late for me. So maybe Saturday morning? #
  • NY people – I am having a birthday thing tomorrow night at Arctica Bar at 10 PM. Come by if you want: http://www.arcticabar.com/ #
  • @chriscallan I did. I checked the pockets of all the pants I own. I have to clean tonight, so maybe I’ll uncover it. #
  • So…for a birthday dinner tonight, should I go to Otto? Or the Spotted Pig? #
  • Having Casino Royale’s director in charge of the Green Lantern movie gives me some hope that it could be good. #
  • Since today is my ‘Friday’ I went casual (yes, we have casual Fridays here). I wonder if anyone will care. #
  • Rajan Khanna, upping the banality of Twitter posts in an effort to stave off boredom and brain death. #
  • @lvdpal That would be fun, too. But I’m enjoying wearing jeans today. It’s far more comfy and when I go out later I won’t look like a dweeb. #
  • I should clarify that my birthday is tomorrow, but I’m starting to celebrate tonight (because of NYCC tomorrow). #
  • I think that my brain is transitioning into novel writing mode. New short stories don’t seem to fire me up much, but novel ideas do. #
  • @shunn It’s in the lead. The gelato alone gave it a significant edge. #
  • When I was younger, birthdays were all about the presents. Now, it’s all about spending time with friends. #
  • @ecmyers No Comicon? Quitter. #
  • Source of NY maple syrup smell revealed: http://tinyurl.com/cjrm8s #
  • I was hoping for a more interesting explanation. I still like the idea of a hole opening up into a maple syrup dimension… #
  • @jimboweb No presents are necessary. Just presence. Homophonic. #
  • @shunn Nice! I am going to try to see them in NY, but not sure I’ll get tix. I’ve seen them twice already, though, so I can’t complain. #

Raining Fire – Out now!

Raining Fire, the third and final book in the Ben Gold series, was released on July 18, 2017. This book concludes the story begun in Falling Sky and Rising Tide. Publisher’s Weekly said, “Khanna wraps up his postapocalyptic adventure series with a capable page-turner…the airships, slavers, cannibalistic Ferals, and visceral action scenes make this a worthy culmination to the series.”

Available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble now.

Rising Tide -Out now!


Rising Tide, the sequel to Falling Sky, was released on October 6, 2015. Publisher's Weekly said, "Khanna crafts a terrifyingly dismal picture of the future, raising the stakes by gradually stripping Ben of friends and support while throwing him into increasingly dire situations. His worldbuilding remains solid and unsettling, and he never loses sight of the human element. The cliffhanger ending is sure to leave readers on the edges of their seats, panting for resolution."

Falling Sky – Out now!


Falling Sky, my first novel, came out October 7, 2014 from Pyr. It's an adventure story set in a post-apocalyptic future with airships. Publisher's Weekly called it a "solid and memorable debut" while Library Journal gave it a starred review and named it Debut of the Month. For more information, please click here.
