So I've been yelling about this across various social media platforms, but here it is again: I have signed the contracts for my dark fantasy novel Crowflight (which was formerly known as A Murder of Crows), which will be released in September by Masque/Prime Books. Which is really very exciting except that now I have... Continue Reading →
Yay I sold a thing
Today, on the Feast of the Superb Owl, I got word that my shortish take on fairy tales and the Monstrous Feminine "To Increase His Wondrous Greatnesse More" is going to be published by Apex Magazine later this year. Which is happy-making. What's even more happy-making is that I've been feeling a little frustrated by... Continue Reading →
News and updates: I sold a bunch of stuff.
By "a bunch" I mean "three". Three recent story sales, all of which I'm extremely pleased about. Here they are: "The Horse Latitudes" to Ideomancer (which I have been trying to crack forever so yaaaaaay (I think I might have mentioned this here before? Oh, well) "Love in the Time of Vivisection" to Shimmer, which... Continue Reading →
No, seriously, not dead yet.
Hi. Yeah, it's been a while. And while I really enjoyed the audio posts I was doing, I think I need to call a hiatus on them for the time being; some of it is hosting issues and a lot of it is just that lately I haven't felt much motivation to sit down in... Continue Reading →
Quick update – a sale and some other assorted stuff
After a couple of years of trying, I've finally sold a story--"Chinvat", a ghost story inspired by an odd confluence of real events and Zoroastrian mythology--to Shimmer. So I'm really excited about that. I'm not sure yet which issue it's going to appear in--I mean, I assume the next one but I'm not positive--but I'll... Continue Reading →
On persistence.
So today I sold a story. The story in question is "Memento Mori", a strange, slightly surreal little piece that was hugely inspired by the closing passage of Bob Doto of Quiet Earth's review of Werner Herzog's My Son My Son What Have Ye Done, which remains one of the best movie reviews I have...

Gordon doesn’t need to hear any of this; he’s a highly trained professional.
Icarus Magazine has accepted my SF shortish story "The Shapes of Shadows", which tells of intrepid exoarcheologist Professor Gordon Eburuoh and his encounter with a mysterious alien ruin. This is actually the prequel to something bigger--or it might be--and it was a fun little experiment. I'm not sure I was completely successful in doing everything... Continue Reading →
An acceptance I’ve been waiting for a longish time.
Strange Horizons has accepted my weird little tale of a lesbian robot in Uganda, "The Thick Night", for publication sometime next spring. I originally wrote this for a benefit for Pakistan, so this means Médecins Sans Frontières is going to be getting some more money from me, which is awesome. I've also been trying to...

Sale, and it’s an awesome one.
Got an email tonight that I was hoping for and very happy to get: My odd little bit of cyberpunk erotica, "Wetwire", has been accepted to the Agony & Ecstasy anthology coming out next fall from Berkley Books. The thing that kills me is that it's such a weird little story, I honestly never thought... Continue Reading →
MSF charity anthology: news
It gives me a lot of pleasure to announce that my short story "Starcrossed" will be featured in the anthology Help: Twelve Tales of Recovery, which will be a benefit for Médecins Sans Frontières. The story in question is yet another piece that ties into the universe of the novel that is currently in the... Continue Reading →
