I'm pleased & somewhat amused to report that my story "Foursomes" will appear in Across The Universe, a Beatles Spec-Fic Anthology edited by Randee Dawn and Michael A Ventrella.

I'm very happy to announce that Trevor Quachri at Analog Science Fiction & Fact has bought my novelette "Keepsakes".  My guess is that it will appear sometime late in the year.

Because my ability to edit my Writertopia page seems to have vanished, I am now "transferring my flag," as it were, to LJ.  From now on, my bibliography will appear here (until and unless I get a web site of my own):

Collections:

• Anthems Outside Time and Other Strange Voices (Fairwood Press) (forthcoming 2020).

time-shark has put my story "Selected Program Notes from the Retrospective Exhibition of Theresa Rosenberg Latimer" online at the Mythic Delirium Web site. If you've been curious, now's your chance. (And of course Mike hopes that this will inspire you to go out and buy your own copy of Clockwork Phoenix 4!)

I'm delighted to report that Analog Science Fiction & Fact is going to buy my story "Life of the Author Plus Seventy". I mailed the signed contract yesterday.

Two pieces of publishing-related news:
