I just have to tell you three things...
1.) Shimmer's Clockwork Jungle.Now. If I never actually write a blow by blow review of this, I still want you to know that it's constantly surprising, often mind-blowing, and well-worth the read. Plus, there's this woodcut of a wolf riding a unicycle that you MUST see

I've had the privilege of publishing Shweta myself; if you'd like to watch her give a clinic on how to cram characters, worldbuilding, and story arc into a ridiculously tight space, you might want to check out her flash contribution to "Triangulation: Taking Flight", which is still in print. (I'll refrain from posting a direct link, as that's too self-serving by half. :-) )
Best,

You can buy Triangulation: Taking Flight direct from the printer, for either $12 + shipping for the dead tree version (featuring bad-ass cover art by Vinny Chong!) or $0.99 for a PDF download (cover-art free, sadly). Amazon.com has the dead tree available for the same price, but might give you a better deal on shipping because, well, they're Amazon.
Finally, you may be interested in this podcast from this year's editors of the Triangulation anthology (of which I'm not one any more -- no worries, it was a bloodless coup), which features one of my former assistants gushing of the excellence of Shweta's very-short story. (As well as guest blatherations from yours truly.) The other podcasts live here, if you're curious.

When this blings into my email inbox, I'm-a savin' it, and checking it out at my leisure. Rather than when I'm at work. THANKS! This is SO CONVENIENT!
