So I spent the weekend at the TweensRead book festival in Houston, which was wonderful and amazing, and I found myself having some thoughts. First of all, if you were still of a mind to question the need for many kids to have books about people like them, this would dropkick it from anyone with […]

(I have good luck with skull covers, what can I say?) Release date in early February, about to go out to my faithful proofreaders!
A new short story–or, anyway, new if you’re not a subscriber–now available for free on Apex Magazine! Razorback It’s based on an old Southern folktale with a talking hog, and you know I couldn’t pass that up.
I have a new story up at Uncanny Magazine! http://uncannymagazine.com/article/wooden-feathers/ Fair warning, it has some sad bits to go with the weird bits. It is about duck decoys, sort of. If you like it, there’s a lot of cool stuff at Uncanny Magazine, all worth reading.
So I was at Anthrocon and was in fact at the after party run by the Dorsai Irregulars when an online friend, Ultragotha, congratulated me for my World Fantasy nomination.

The red glow of her cigarette was the only light in the building. The street lights had been blown out long ago. That was fine. She […]
Okay, so let’s talk about happier stuff for awhile! We’re sliding into the end of the year and the award eligibility posts are going up, if any of you are voters in such beasts and so inclined. So, without further ado, here’s the stuff I’ve written this year that might qualify for something! Flash Fiction: […]
My short story in the Women Destroy Fantasy collection is available to read on-line! The Dryad’s Shoe If you enjoy it, please consider buying either the e-book or print volume from Fantasy Magazine of the whole issue–it is some super cool stuff. And can I just say how awesome it is to have been involved […]
Coming in November, an honest-to-god novel! This is another fairy-tale retelling, best known to long-time blog readers as “The One With The Hedgehog.” (Seriously considered calling it that, but it’s a pretty weird dark story, so I decided against it. Also, if I put the hedgehog on the cover, people would probably get entirely the […]
