Shiny things that are shiny!

The writing has been slow-going these last couple weeks, but there have at least been writing-related shiny things that I finally have time to post about: * Shiny thing #1: My story "Notes on a Page" (along with some shiny pretty artwork by Nick Greenwood) is now out in issue 32 of Intergalactic Medicine Show. * Shiny … Continue reading Shiny things that are shiny!

Guest blogs and awesome and coldness, oh my!

My spring semester has begun, so I'll be spending a lot of time in the lack-of-blogging abyss once again, but for this brief moment, I emerge with three things, two of which are shiny, the third not so much: 1) I'm thrilled to announce that my short story "Notes on a Page" will be appearing … Continue reading Guest blogs and awesome and coldness, oh my!

In the meantime, I've briefly surfaced for two quick bits of cheery news: 1) My story "Sea of the Gods" was accepted by BayCon to appear in their … Continue reading Two quick bits of cheery news

Signals and study and stories, oh my!

It seems I went AWOL on the blog posting front. Again. But now that I'm here, many things... SIGNALS: First, a signal boost: Say Yes to Gay YA, where authors Rachel Manija Brown and Sherwood Smith talk about an unfortunate instance of being asked to either make a gay character in their novel straight or remove the … Continue reading Signals and study and stories, oh my!

Odyssey: The Before and After Shots

Tomorrow I head off to the The Never-Ending Odyssey (aka TNEO), a week-long workshop for alumni of the six-week Odyssey Writing Workshop, so my current blogging scarcity will likely become even scarcer. But before I head out, an actual post! Gearing up for TNEO over the last several weeks got me wondering: just how much … Continue reading Odyssey: The Before and After Shots

The Writerly Update: Rising from the Grave Edition

Holy crap, has it really been that long since I've posted something? Sorry not to have been keeping up lately, but life has continued to dance on the insane side of the fence. Hopefully come fall I'll be able to settle back into a blog reading and writing routine. Until then, I'll probably remain my … Continue reading The Writerly Update: Rising from the Grave Edition

I'm happy to say that I've sold a twisted little flash piece of mine called "Mr. Fluffy" to the wonderfully named Untied Shoelaces of the Mind. And on a non-pimpage note, I've now encountered the following situation enough that I'm curious to know if any of my fellow fantasy writers have as well: I'll be … Continue reading A sale, and unexpected responses to saying you write fantasy

I’m Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover

I'm pleased to report that my short story "Unlucky Clover" has been accepted for the July 2011 issue of Beyond Centauri. "Unlucky Clover" is a sequel of sorts to my story "Lucky Clover" (Flash Fiction Online, March 2008), following the son of that story's leprechaun protagonist (who also makes an appearance in the sequel).
