from Matter Press:

Compression: Camille Alexa

“I came to writing compressed literature in a backward fashion—or perhaps it’s the natural order: novels, then short fiction, then poems. Turns out my aim is the same regardless of size or form; I want to tell a story, and want that story to mean something, preferably something accessible and entertaining at the same time, not weighted or bloated with its own importance. Freeing my writing from the tether of the probable liberates its themes—loneliness, love, death—and sets it free to shoot like a meteor across the stratosphere or like a bullet into the gut.” — Camille Alexa

 

The Other Change of Hobbit in Berkeley

I’ll be in California this weekend at The Other Change of Hobbit along with Claude Lalumière (!!!) and  Tim Pratt (!!!)  From 4-6pm this Sunday, we’ll be there reading from and/or talking about our books, life, the universe, and everything.

Special Fundraiser Day
Thanks to a short-term loan, our doors are open for sales again, after a six-month hiatus.  To help keep those doors open, and to help us pay back the loan, please come down and have a browse. And buy a book. Or two. 

The Other Change of Hobbit is in South Berkeley at 3264 Adeline Street between Harmon and Adeline.  Come say hi!

Fan mail from Italy!

You know how “Flaming Marshmallow and Other Deaths” was released in Italy as part of the MACHINE OF DEATH juggernaut?  Well, emails are trickling in from people enjoying the Italian version of the book and the story, and that, my friends, is awesome.

For those who may have missed it, the Machine of Death crew has posted some lovely photos of the brand-spanking-new Spanish version below.  Am eagerly awaiting my copy in the mail. . . .
