Crossed Genres 23

 in Blog  tagged crossed genres / me.me.me / shorts by

And, almost back-to-back, my story "Seeing Stars" is up in Crossed Genres 23: Dreams and Nightmares. "Seeing Stars" is the story of an modern-day oracle with brain damage who’s driven to help a fellow patient, a human siren. This one’s a lot gentler than most of my stories, and I’m happy that the editors at Crossed Genres loved it enough to take it. I’ve heard good things about their operating process, and my experience has lived up to the reports–they use a standard contract, they get back to you with edits in a prompt fashion, and they reliably deliver the final […]

ASIM #47 2

 in Blog  tagged asim / me.me.me / shorts by

Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine (ASIM) #47, edited by the fabulous  , has been released and is now up for sale over at their website. My story "Acid" appears in it, as well as fiction by Patrick S. Tomlinson, Stephen Watts, Felicity Pulman, Charlotte Nash, John Phillips, Ferrett Steinmetz, Gary Cuba, and Tam McDonald. I’ve met Gary Cuba on Baen’s Bar but don’t have an acquaintance with any of the others. (I don’t think.) Both print and PDF versions are available; I haven’t received my contributor copy yet so I can’t comment on them, but once I do I’ll post a […]

Sideshow Fables, Issue #2 1

I guess I should mention that my story "Charmer" is up at Sideshow Fables. Sideshow Fables is a fledgling print/e-book magazine of circus and carnival fiction; you can get the e-book for $2 and both for $6 over at their store. My contributor copy is quite gorgeous, more so than what I would have expected from the PDF, although all the artwork and interior design is quite elegant. Here’s a review of some of the stories inside–I skipped a few but I’ll come back and add them later.

While at the moment I don’t have the time for a novel (to read or to review), I thought I’d link to a few short stories that I’ve found exceptional in the past. I’ll probably add to this list as I find or recall others. These have been published in Baen’s Universe, Abyss & Apex, Ideomancer, IGMS, ChiZine, and Lone Star Stories. "Cryptic Coloration" (Elizabeth Bear, Baen’s Universe). A Promethean Age story from Elizabeth Bear, set before the events of Blood & Iron with Matthew as a central character. Hard to pinpoint why I like this one so much, but the […]
