The Clockwork Jungle Book (Shimmer #11) is out!!!

Fans of the minute, delicate and strange, here's the return of your favorite magazine.
My very own "The Story in Which Dog Dies" is in this issue, along with stuff by Jay Lake, Susannah Mandel, Alethea Kontis, Amal El-Mohtar and others.

Purchase a print issue for 8 bucks plus shipping or, if you prefer, download the electronic version for 4$.

I can't wait to get my copies.

Sweet!

Another foreign sale, "Master Yung" reprinted in Greek in Ennea

I'm just been informed that "Master Yung" is in the April issue of Ennea, a comic and SF mag that comes out with the Greek newspaper Eleftherotypia.

This is my second sale to Ennea. I wonder how I sound in Greek.

Issue #8 OG's Speculative Fiction

Issue 8 is out and "Master Yung" is in it.

Happy happy

Sale to Apex!

Apex Digest has agreed to publish "Dear Diary" for the Apex parting shot. "Dear Diary" belongs to a series of short shorts that are going up at the Daily Cabal.

I'm real proud of my little story. I'm very fond of Apex and I've been trying to get in for a while.

The only bummer is that I was planning on posting a review of Apex 10 this week and this sort of screws with that. But, what the hell, everyone knew I was partial to Apex anyway (why else would I try to be published there?), so I'll simply do my best to give a straight review and hope that the three people who bother to read this blog don't mind.

"Family Values" accepted by COSMOS

Yay!
This story grew out of Liberty Hall Flash. I'm very fond of it because it was a joy to write (unlike some of my more obscure stories which take months of revision) and it sold really fast. I wouldn't define the story as satire, but it does have a strong humor streak.
This is my second pro sale.

Go Home is up at Mytholog

My nanoshort "Go Home" is up.
Check it out.

Acceptance! "Pretty Little Thing" to Helix

Helix wants "Pretty Little Thing".

It's nice to know that in this reptile ridden world, nice things can still happen that don't involve dismemberment of green individuals.
