Philcon Schedule

Even though I'm dreadfully bogged down with work and school and other stuff, I decided that Philcon was close enough that I could afford a touch more over-commitment. That was, of course, before Hurricane Sandy knocked out my power last week and put me even further behind on things. Nonetheless, here's my schedule, and I'm … Continue reading Philcon Schedule

Lies for Fun and Profit

Today I get to play over at Anaea Lay's blog as part of her Lies for Fun and Profit series. I sewed my interview answers into the flesh of a Starbucks barista who gave me incorrect change, then shipped the still-screaming barista to Anaea via stork. True story.

“Ghost Writer to the Dead” & Happy Shiny Writing Time

As you may or may not have noticed, I've kind of disappeared from the blogosphere again. My fall semester began last month, and it has been kicking my ass workload-wise. But on the bright side, two shiny writerly things: 1) First, pimpage: my story "Ghost Writer to the Dead" is now out in the October … Continue reading “Ghost Writer to the Dead” & Happy Shiny Writing Time

One, two, five–three, sir!–things make a post

1) Not that the world needs more of me babbling, but fellow Odyssey alum A.J. Cooper was lovely enough to do an interview with me over at his blog. 2) I've spent far too much of today transfixed by the internet train wreck that is Weird Tales and their now-revoked intent to publish the first chapter of the "thoroughly non-racist … Continue reading One, two, five–three, sir!–things make a post

Shiny things!

First, Izzy David's podcast of my story "The Little Things" is now up at Every Day Fiction. Please have a listen and rate it if you feel so moved. Second, story sale! I'm pleased to say that my story "Ghost Writer to the Dead" has been accepted for Penumbra's October 2012 Edgar Allan Poe issue. And finally, so it's not … Continue reading Shiny things!

Full brain is full!

I'm currently trying to readjust to reality after a couple weeks away—first for a week of writerly workshoppiness at TNEO, and then for a week of vacationy goodness down the shore. My brain's a little scattered, so bear with me as I share the writerly randomness that has occurred during my absence: * First, story … Continue reading Full brain is full!

Rediscovering Words

So I lied about eventually having a more substantial post last week (not that I think anyone was eagerly awaiting one, especially given my half-assed blogging tendencies of late). I had intended to write a post last week, but I got distracted by something that was probably far more worthwhile for me. I rediscovered how … Continue reading Rediscovering Words

“The Little Things” up at Every Day Fiction

I should have a more substantial post later this week, but for now, just a quick moment of pimpage: my story "The Little Things" is up at Every Day Fiction today. This one's a rare little jaunt into mainstream humor for me.

The Writerly Update: “Where the Hell Did June Go?” Edition

Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up: * A story sale! My flash fiction piece "The Little Things" will be appearing in Every Day Fiction on July 9. * I've added my short story "The Deepening" (from issue 37 of Aoife's Kiss) to those I have available on AnthologyBuilder. * In a few weeks … Continue reading The Writerly Update: “Where the Hell Did June Go?” Edition

“You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you”

During my sophomore year high school English class, we read a lot of short stories. One that really stuck with me was "The Veldt" because: a) We were reading science fiction! In school! How cool was that!? b) It was the first time I read a story by Ray Bradbury. RIP, Mr. Bradbury.
