SUBVERSION book trailer

My story “And All Its Truths” is coming out today in the SUBVERSION anthology.   Reviewers already have nice things to say about this antho and this story, which is lovely and delicious.

Lineup includes stories by Jessica Reisman, Shanna Germain, Cat Rambo, Wendy Wagner, Kay T. Holt, Caleb Jordan Schulz, Melissa S. Green, Daniel José Older, Kelly Jennings, Barbara Krasnoff, Natania Barron, Jean Johnson, C.A. Young, Timothy T. Murphy, and RJ Astruc & Deirdre M. Murphy.

Ever wondered what I looked like in a mohawk?  Ever wondered if my twang emerges more when I talk about growing up in Austin, Texas?  Here’s a book trailer for SUBVERSION which may answer all your questions, or stir up a pot of new ones. . . .

“Flaming Marshmallow and Other Deaths” in translation

From the Machine of Death site:

“ These pictures are of the press kit for the upcoming Italian version of MOD1, La Macchina della Morte! … I hope the book does well in Italy when it comes out next year! Tell all your friends in Italy to buy a copy!

Oh and if you have friends in Germany, tell them to buy one too, when the German edition comes out in January.

Oh and if you have friends in Spain, tell them to buy one of the Spanish versions too.

If you have friends in France, you might as well tell them too.

Ditto for all your friends in Croatia, Korea, Japan, and Israel.

That’s right — there will be eight different foreign editions of MOD1 coming out next year across the world. . . ”

Machine of Death opens with my story “Flaming Marshmallow and Other Deaths.” This one has already appeared in audio at Escape Pod and in print in my collection, PUSH OF THE SKY. Fly, little story! Fly!
