and the rest is rust and stardust
Basically what the post subject line says: We See a Different Frontier, the anthology of post-colonial SF that I'm lucky enough to be a part of, is now available in ebook and paperback formats. So far the book has gotten great buzz from critics. Publisher's Weekly (which calls my story "haunting"): Fernandes and al-Ayad, editors... Continue Reading →
So a bunch has happened with Line and Orbit in the last couple of weeks (aside from just it being released). Here are a few of the highlights: It got 5/5 stars from Reviews by Jessewave. "This book was a revelation of beauty and a delight to read for me on so many levels, I... Continue Reading →
I've already posted about this in a few places, but what the hell, might as well put it here too: So I'm sitting on the couch in my parents' house on Christmas Day evening, watching The West Wing with my brother and sister and dad and surfing around on my laptop, and I see that...

Charlie Jane Anders over at io9 has reviewed Circlet Press's Fantastic Erotica - which includes my SF short "Catch and Release" - and calls it "[possibly] the year’s most dangerous science fiction anthology". Which is awesome. So why do I say the stories in Fantastic Erotica are dangerous? It's not because they feature anything nonconsensual... Continue Reading →
This is an awesome week for writerly things. First, Heiresses of Russ 2012 is now on sale and it's awesome. Second, Brit Mandelo has reviewed it over at Tor.com and gives my story a nice little nod: Sunny Moraine’s “The Thick Night” is a complicated attempt at exploring cultural clashes between the offering of aid...

I definitely want to pick up the Muse Monday thing I used to do wherein I would write about writing, but I'm not quite there in my head yet, and I have a feeling I'll have a chance to do a lot more of that as promo for Line and Orbit heats up. So for... Continue Reading →
It seems I have a fan in Daisiemae over at Night Owl Reviews; she's given In the Pale Moonlight four and a half stars and named it a Top Pick, and has some perfectly lovely things to say about it. For a novella that falls just under forty pages, it really packs a lot of... Continue Reading →
Night Owl Romance has given Hieros a really lovely review, for which I thank them heartily. Reviewer Daisiemae says that it definitely won't be the last thing she reads from me--thanks very much, Daisiemae! That's great to hear. I'm so glad you enjoyed the book.
Somewhere in there I got married and went on a two week honeymoon, but I'm back with some news: My long short story/shortish novellette that also happens to be a novel prequel, "Thin Spun", has been accepted to Flyleaf Press's anthology Hellebore and Rue: Tales of Queer Women and Magic. Also, my science fiction retelling... Continue Reading →
Miss Rat has kindly reviewed Queerpunk and has some nice things to say about my story "Upload" (it's tied for her vote as second strongest of the anthology). I find the sex here reasonably hot - in part because I can’t predict how it’s going to go ... Data transfer as orgasm is interesting, and... Continue Reading →
