Stuff & Things

Just when you think it's stopped raining, there comes more rain. Just what Colorado doesn't need! I was going to donate to the Strange Horizons fundraiser, but instead went over to HelpColoradoNow.com, because my state is such a mess after historical floods and oil spills. It's still unbelievable.

But there are other doings, yes. Let me round them up!

Lamplight Vol. 1 contains my story "By the Book." This 450-page volume gathers up everything from Lamplight's first year, and I'm pleased as heck to be a part of it, even if its editor keeps tormenting delighting me with Daft Punk links.

Dead North arrives on October 1st--that link will let you pre-order from Amazon. This contains my story "The Sea Half-Held By Night," a historical piece about whaling, and Red Bay, and zombies, and crawling inside a thing with the hopes of vanishing.

Tangent Online reviewed Tales of Jack the Ripper and while they didn't love my contribution, they found plenty to like otherwise!

Shimmer #17 has arrived, and this is the largest non-themed issue we have produced thus far. I am super excited to finally share it with you. We have such a great lineup of authors in this one. Seventeen authors, in fact! I hope you'll visit the Shimmer blog in this week, because I've got bonus content with some of those authors, and more yet to come.

In the future: I will have a story in The Mammoth Book of Gaslit Romance, and Ellen Datlow announced that The Beastly Bride sold to a Russian publisher, so that will be my first foreign translation. and coming in December, I'm proud to say I will have a story in issue #2 of The Dark, a new magazine from Jack Fisher and Sean Wallace. Based on their choices so far, this magazine should do something that no other presently does--and that's exciting! "Wrought Out From Within Upon the Flesh" is also like nothing else I've written, despite the fact that it takes place in my traveling circus universe. Sword & Mythos also remains on the horizon--Joan of Arc riding a mammoth, anyone? Yes. Oh, yes.
