- 2013 THEODORE STURGEON MEMORIAL AWARD -

My story, “(To See the Other) Whole Against the Sky” is a finalist for the 2013 Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award. I am in amazing company — you can read the full list on the Locus website, and having read some of these stories, I am humbled indeed. My thanks to everyone who has sent me virtual cake and booze.

If you haven’t read my story yet, you can find “(To See the Other) Whole Against the Sky” at Clarkesworld Magazine. And there are some behind the scenes notes about the story here.

You guys.

All the feels, seriously. It’s staggering.

- OTHER RECENT DOINGS -

I’m pleased to say that “Once November” will be appearing in Tales of Jack the Ripper (WordHorde), and “And After the Fire, a Still Small Voice” will be in Sword & Mythos (Innsmouth Press). “Once November” is told from the points of view of the Ripper’s victims, each damaged in their own way, while “And After the Fire…” features Joan of Arc and a mammoth named King Charles.

You read that correctly. Who doesn’t want to see Joan riding into battle on a mammoth? No one! You can get a peek at the cover art and the table of contents over on the Innsmouth Free Press website!

Rings of Anubis: Gold and Glass, and Silver and Steam will be coming from Masque Books this summer. Cairo! Paris! Steampunk! Werewolves! And stay tuned for promotional goodies coming!

CURRENTLY @SHIMMER

Shimmer #16 is sold out in its paper incarnation. Digital copies are forever and you can still acquire those from the Shimmer site. We will probably be ordering a bigger run for issue #17, which should also be available for you this summer. Issue #18 promises to be special indeed; hopefully we can talk about that soon.
