Destination: Future is out!

My story "No Jubjub Birds Tonight" is available as part of the Destination: Future anthology, edited by Eric T. Reynolds and Z. S. Adani. This is my second story in a Hadley Rille anthology and needless to say, I'm thrilled.

You can buy it from Amazon, Barnes and Noble or your usual bookstore

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.

Go Home is up at Mytholog

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

I Loved Ophelia-- The Lorelei Signal

I Love Ophelia is a poem I wrote a few years ago, long before I took up prose. I didn't plan to submit it anywhere but last year in Paris I showed it to Richard and he loved it, so... here's the result.
Please do vote for the reader's poll. Think of it as a way to tell me that my writing sucks without being threatened by a blunt katana.

"Pretty Little Thing" up at Helix SF

My story "Pretty Little Thing" is up at Helix-SF.

This story was easy to start but hell to finish. I wrote it last year in Paris. I got the idea returning home late-ish at night by Metro and then joined a party in my Residence where I talked to interesting people who helped me flesh it out. I had fun "researching" this one. Then I was stuck and it took me several months of tinkering to finish the story.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and tell me what you think.

The Daily Cabal

The Daily Cabal has now been running smoothly for five days. We've got good feedback and quite a few subscribers.
Today's story is mine :) Check out "Fairy Western". I can guarantee that at least the premise is original.

Shimmer

Shimmer has this great preview of their winter issue up at youtube. Can the music be any more great? Can I be any more jealous of the writer's they publish?
Damn, they're good.

"Godtouched" is up at Strange Horizons

My short story "Godtouched" is up at Strange Horizons

It's nice to see the story up there. Let's see how everyone likes it

Strange Horizons

For the last couple of days, I've been working with Karen (one of the editors of SH) to get my story "Godtouched" ready for publication. Going through a story I wrote some nine months ago has been an interesting experience. My writing has changed a lot since then, but I still like that story as much as the day I wrote it.
It was also interesting to have a story professionally edited; I already knew that my grammar and spelling needed work, but I this was a whole new level.
Anyway, I'll post again when the story is out. I really hope you guys like it.
