Wiscon Appearance

 
I’ll be at Wiscon this weekend in Madison, Wisconsin.  Anyone who’d like to hear me read should attend either the “Small Press Strikes Back” panel, in which I read with fellow Hadley Rille Books authors Erin Cashier, Eric L. Vogt, & Cliff Winnig, or “A Cabinet of Curiosities, a Circus of Marvels” — a reading with  J. Kathleen Cheney, Jessica Reisman, Adrian Alan Simmons, and Tina Connolly sitting in for Caroline Yoachim.
 
I’m also scheduled for The Gathering, The Female Bachelor, and Fathers & Daughters in SF&F panels. 
 
If you see me, come introduce yourself and let me buy you a drink.
 

“Gretel” to appear in anthology

gretel My short story “Gretel,” a dark modern retelling of “Hansel and Gretel,” will be appearing in the forthcoming anthology The Devil’s Food.  Because the original wasn’t dark enough.

All the stories in the anthology are about “the threat of being eaten.”  Macabre, but somehow intriguing. . . .

Publication details as they manifest.

“Shades of White and Road” goes live in text and audio at Fantasy Magazine

When I was deciding story order for Push of the Sky , a wonderful short fiction writer and poet offered me the rather intriguing advice of putting one of my favorite pieces right in the middle. (Actually, he said, “About that story collection: imagine hanging your stories together like a suspension bridge, or, for that matter, like a Diplodocus skeleton.”)   
 
The image of the Diplodocus skeleton, with its enormous weighty middle arcing upward to support its impossible length, stayed with me. ” Shades of White and Road ” is at the exact center of my book.
