Hot off the presses
Three cheers for the USPS! They braved the horrid weather today and brought me my very own copy of Hadley-Rille Press' Desolate Places anthology, with my story "A Requiem for the Sons of Kings". It is such a pretty book. *happy sigh* |

Author Roundtable and new publication information In case anyone is interested, I'll be participating in a roundtable discussion at Borders Books in Cheektowaga on April 17th at 8:00 p.m. The other panelists, thus far, are Nancy Kress, Anne Bishop, and Joe Haldeman. Also, the Desolate Places anthology is out, and there's information about ordering here on Amazon. According to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ericreynolds, they often discount books after a few days, so if I hear anything of that sort I'll post it here. |

Story sale! I'm very excited to announce that I sold a story, "Seven Scenes from Harrai's 'Sacred Mountain'," to the Clockwork Phoenix anthology! I've been drooling over the cover art since Mike Allen announced this project, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. Current Mood: ecstatic |

This is new, in a bad way I went looking for a printout I made years ago, and leafed through the box of writing files in the attic for an hour without luck. I found a bunch of old stories that made me cringe. (Including My First Novel (tm). Remember the tomato truck, celli?) And to my surprise, I found the contract for a story called "Echoes of You" which I sold to Blue Murder eight or so years ago. I have no memory of this story. None.How did this happen? Current Mood:  confused |

Atonement?
Has anyone seen Atonement? I need to get out tonight, and I'd heard lots of good things about it. Recs? Anti-recs? |

Some good, some bad I've sold a few poems this month, to Talebones, Niteblade, and Sounds of the Night. I also got lots of rejections--the latest one today. Those are always less painful when I'm actively sending stuff out. I reached 75k on the novel draft. This time, it kind of snuck up on me--I was so absorbed in the story that the number of words didn't seem as important as it has with earlier novels. Is that a good sign? And lastly, I got an e-mail from someone who wants to use excerpts from "Summoning Stones" in a multimedia presentation. ("Summoning" appeared in the September 26 2005 issue of Strange Horizons. If, you know, you're interested.) I see lots of new people in my user info. Feel free to introduce yourself or ask impertinent questions. Current Mood:  busy |

Article live at Byzarium My article, "The Life and Undeath of Urban Fantasy", is live in the new issue of Byzarium. I've also got poetry in the latest issue of Star*Line from the SFPA, and another poem in Jabberwocky 3 from Prime Books. I'm trying to decide if I should post my goals for the year or just, y'know, do some work. Current Mood:  creative |

Poem up! Just to let you all know that my collaboration with seajules, "Passionplay," is online at Dragons, Knights & Angels. And thanks to sovay, I learned of a really nice review of "Bear-Clad" at The Fix. All that, plus another poetry sale to Goblin Fruit, and a story sale to ericreynolds for the upcoming Desolate Places anthology. A good week, all things considered. Current Mood: creative |

Free Poetry! This is very late, but the new issue of Goblin Fruit is on line with two of my poems, "Bear Clad" and "Her Last Murder". If you enjoy poetry, GF is well worth checking out. Next month, both the Ruins: Extraterrestrial anthology from Hadley-Rille books and ravenelectrick's Sporty Spec should be available. I'll post the details as they're made available to me. If you're new here, please feel free to introduce yourself and ask questions. I don't post as often as I should here, I know, but I'd be happy to answer any burning queries. |

Updatery Let's see . . . I've been asked to attend EerieCon 10 in April--this will be my third appearance as a guest there. Joe Haldeman is one of the guests-of-honor, so I'm looking forward to meeting him. Hopefully he'll come to the poetry round robin. I have some poetry that's been published since my last update. "Old Time Religion" and "Between" appeared in issue #2 of Kaleidotrope. "Grave statue of an unknown baboon-headed god, c. 300 B.C." made its debut in issue #37 of Not One of Us. And I've got a poem in the premier issue of Sounds of the Night as well, which you can hunt up from Sam's Dot if you're so inclined. I also had my first translation, into Portuguese. It's a reprint of "Mathematics," in a gorgeous little chapbook with some rather heady company (Walt Whitman, William Carlos Williams and Rita Dove, among others). And very, very soon I'll have a story and some poems available online--from Electric Spec and Goblin Fruit respectively. So stay tuned! Current Mood: busy |

It's been *how* long? I just looked at the last post date on here and smacked myself in the forehead. Two months?! And a lot has been happening, too. I need to be better about posting regularly. Submissions: Seven this week, two of which have already been rejected (beat the rush!). Acceptances: Five in June--short stories "The Stone Orrery" to Ages of Wonder, "Liliya's Game" to ravenelectrick's Sporty Spec and "Among the Shards of Heaven" to Ruins: Extraterrestrial. The latter is being edited by ericreynolds and he's got a post with the cover art. Gorgeous! Also two poems to tithenai and mer_moon's Goblin Fruit: "Her Last Murder" and "Mermaid Syndrome". In other cool news, I had a request from the Netherlands for permission to use "Summoning Stones" in an interpretive dance video. And the ever-popular "Mathematics" is going to be translated into Portuguese for an upcoming anthology. Whew! I feel like a real writer now. Current Mood: artistic |
