Reading/Signing in Austin, Tx

If you haven’t read the very sweet interview on Grinding to Valhalla, please at least give it a skim. Randolph Carter asked me the best question ever: “You wake up to a world where one of your short stories has been made into an MMO. Which story would you pick and why?”

Author Interview on Grinding to Valhalla

Randolph Carter hosts a series of interviews on his Gaming site, Grinding to Valhalla.   He calls this series Reading the Text, and has interviewed writers like Sarah Monette, Ken Scholes, and Alan Campbell.  I’m very pleased to join such ranks.
 
My interview on gaming, being a writer, and living with a grown man with ten million toys* is here.

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.
