Housekeeping!

This is the post of all the things I haven't posted because I've been too busy 1) with the convention thing and 2) being sick after the convention:

First off, two poetry sales. "Going Back" is going to be in the Fall issue of Goblin Fruit, which is why they let me read at the Goblin Fruit reading last week despite the riffraff that I clearly am. Anyone who's a fan of speculative poetry ought to be reading this 'zine, as it is full to bursting with incredible stuff.

The second is "The Murdered Woman Comes Home", which is actually live as of yesterday in Flashquake. The direct link's here.

Next up, another review of Clockwork Phoenix, this one at Bibliophile Stalker, and yes, we are still pre-publication on this thing:

Eighteen stories all in all and one element I found in common among all the stories is that they were comfortable to read, usually going for an elegant and minimalist writing style rather than verbose, choking paragraphs. A recurring theme of this anthology is that it attempts to evoke the reader's sense of wonder.


I am told there will be launch shenanigans for this book at Readercon. I think.

Speaking of which, Readercon panels are up. They'll be asking people shortly for panel preferences, and I figured...y'know, self-evaluation's an imperfect art. Is there anything that you guys want to hear me expounding upon?


Okay, I guess we needed less housekeeping than I thought. *flourishes the figurative feather duster*

That's the news.

I like The Murdered Woman Comes Home: all the essential in one tidy package. Thanks for the link!

In case you were wondering "who's this chick who friended me on LJ?"...I was part of the Very Long Conversation about the Responsibilities of Authors, and other late-night ramblings :)

Hi again! I think I recognized you from the Wiscon community or something you said in said Marathon Late-Night Talk or...yes. Hi. :)

I should post a housekeeping message too...my blog's been gathering dust...

In other news, we're in the same issue of On Spec! Yay!

Ooh, we are. With [livejournal.com profile] mrissa too!

(And that's more housekeeping to post, now. Drat. :p )
