Just heard back from Shawn M. Garrett over at Pseudopod and am delighted to say that my festive horror story "Saint Nicholas's Helper" will be playing there Christmas 2011. It's kind of a long ways off, but really - it's definitely one for the holidays!

Pseudopod published my very first story "Last Respects" several years ago, and I'm really ( Read more... )

Escape Pod has gone pro!!! They're doing a trial run of paying authors 5 cents per word, posting reviews and other content on their blog, and also, ePublishing! And "Saint Darwin's Spirituals" is in the premiere ePub, along with matthewsrotundo's story "Fuel" (which I had the pleasure of narrating for EP). There's also a couple of spiffy reviews included, and a ( Read more... )

This makes me so happy - I just found out from Samuel Montgomery-Blinn that my short story "The Gearaffe Who Didn't Tick" will be coming to you all sometime in the future from the mighty Bull Spec! (I've read the email like five times to make sure I'm not misreading it. I'm reasonably sure I'm not.)

So for those of you who have been disconcerted by ( Read more... )

Just a quick note to say that Part 2 of "Horror World 2025", my collaboration with Kevin "No J" Anderson, is now live at Drabblecast! I think it went live on Saturday - just in time for Halloween.

So if you like the Headless Horseman, zombies, aliens, vampires (not those kind of vampires), the Wolfman, and most importantly Westworld - check it out!

Neil Gaiman's been talking about giving a scary book to someone you love this Halloween. An idea I think is fantastic, and completely support. In addition, I'm giving a few things free to all of you - Escape Pod bought my story "Saint Darwin's Spirituals" and just published it in time for Halloween! Spiritualized steampunk with golems and ( Read more... )

So...my sekrit project is out of the bag and alive...ALIVE, I scream, at the Drabblecast. It's part 1 of a collaboration with my pal Kevin "No J" Anderson called "Horror World 2025" (possibly NSFW).  It's a mash-up of Westworld, Night of the Living Dead, Aliens, and Jurassic Park (except there's no dinosaurs. We'll have to do dinosaurs for the ( Read more... )

Click the PW link, scroll down a little bit, and you'll see that the anthology She Nailed a Stake Through His Head: Tales of Biblical Horror earned a starred review from Publisher's Weekly! And among several of the other stories mentioned in the review, "Last Respects" gets a shout-out. Halle-freaking-lujah!

I cannot wait to get my hands on ( Read more... )

Hey look! The Triangulation: End of the Rainbow anthology is out, and includes my story "Haole"! So if you've got a hankering for a vision of an island-themed post-apocalypse, this is your chance to slide on some coral knuckles, slip into your swim skin, and go out for a dip in the blood read ocean.

But check out the ToC: So many kick ass authors ( Read more... )

How about some good news, for a change?

I sold my short story "Haole" to the Triangulation: End of the Rainbow anthology! Because my island paradise just wouldn't be complete without a little bit of post-apocalyptic flavoring, dudes. So...next time I'm in Maui, I'll have to pick up that t-shirt.

Seriously, I love this story to pieces, loved going ( Read more... )

Look! It's my name on the cover of a magazine!!!
