More Line and Orbit outtakes: An interlude with Kae and Leila
Here, for your reading enjoyment, is another one of the bits of Line and Orbit that was cut from the final version of the book. It was one of the casualties of our many cuts for length, and ended up going because it doesn't do a huge amount to advance the plot. However, what it... Continue Reading →

Stop saying ‘fabulous’ in there.
Back from Philcon. It was, in a word, fabulous. I made fabulous friends. I went to some fabulous panels (including one that was actually awful in a fairly fabulous way). I had fabulous Indian food. I met Catherynne Valente and she was fabulously gracious and remembered the essay I wrote about Silently and Very Fast... Continue Reading →
Want to win a free copy of Scheherazade’s Facade?
Then just mosey on over here and follow the instructions. Not hosting the contest here because I frankly like Dreamwidth's comment system better, and I feel like having everything in one place makes it easier to wrangle. But yeah. Gooooooo.

Free story: And the Wanderings of Water
Today I present a short story that I wrote a good while ago, an artifact from a place in my life now long behind me but still present in a lot of ways. For two years, I lived near the Wissahickon Creek in Philadelphia; I knew it was long beloved by poets, artists, and writers,... Continue Reading →
I hold with those who favor fire.
My science fiction short story And Would Suffice has been posted over at The Absent Willow Review. They always include pieces of art with the pieces in their issues, which is cool, and in general I'm really pleased to be included. I got the idea as Rob was reading 2010: Odyssey Two to me, because... Continue Reading →
Free fiction: The Beautiful Marks
This was written as a quick exercise in tattooing kink and posted in another, more personal writing blog that I have, but I figured it could go here as well. At 723 words it's quite short, but I think it's a nice little taste of something and it was fun to write. It's m/f, femdom,... Continue Reading →
