So, my story “Bespoke”, published last summer, has been getting some very flattering attention recently. It is currently slated to appear in The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2010 and Year’s Best Science Fiction #15, and has just made the Locus Recommended Reading List in bogglingly excellent company.
I’m beyond thrilled at the reaction to this story. Those who are curious can read it for free here.
The TOC for Running with the Pack has been announced! Included is my story “Dire Wolf.”
Follow the link above for the full TOC, which is awesome and includes many people I like, coincidentally. I’m really excited for this one.
ETA: Edited to remove horrible pun in the subject line. You’re welcome.
Shimmer has released The Clockwork Jungle Book! I’m in it, alongside flisters Amal El-Mohtar and Rajan Khanna and a bunch of other awesome writers. (Also, the cover just kills me, it’s so awesome.)
My story is titled “A Garden in Bloom,” and follows the adventures of a shipping magnate who knows just what to do with his disposable income:
The day Pieter van der Rijsen received news that he had made his fortune, he commissioned the garden.
It has as much faith in humanity as you would expect, coming from me! (…yeah.)
So, “Advection” and “Bespoke” both made the Nebula Suggested Reading List. That is amazing, and it is awesome.
If you’re an interested SFWA member (or would just like to check them out!), “Advection” can be read at Clarkesworld, and “Bespoke” can be read at Strange Horizons.
I’m putting discretion aside and just going for this, because it seems like a good day to mention some short stories I’ve written that are eligible for the Nebula this year.
Advection. A girl, a plant, a young man, Panama.
Bespoke. Fine clothes for the self-satisfied time-traveler in your life.
Carthago Delenda Est. You know how your signature is never exactly the same? It’s like that, with people.
The Red Shoes. Tango: world’s creepiest dance.
(A full list of my published fiction is available here; most of it was published in 2009, and so is eligible. I am happy to provide e-copies of any story upon request!)
