(My fellowship/MFA program ended a few days ago, so I'm attempting to catch up on everything I've semi-neglected online.)

Please consider contributing to the Hidden Youth anthology Kickstarter, especially if you enjoyed the volume that preceded it (Long Hidden). At 62%-funded, this really does look achievable; Crossed Genres is fiercely committed ( Read more... )

So, I'm sitting here in a faded Back to the Future t-shirt watching the next-to-last DVD of ST: TOS S3 episodes. There must be irony in this somewhere, but I haven't quite found it yet ( Read more... )

Soleil Noir has reviewed Needles and Bones in its entirety. For those of you who might be interested in purchasing the anthology, it's available here. Here's what she has to say about my story, "Answer Me":
