For reasons stretching from the obvious (family crisis) to the obvious (I'm lazy), I've neglected my usual custom of placing links on this journal to my published fiction when it goes live.

In fact, I've neglected it so thoroughly I wonder if it should even count as a custom anymore.

It will now!

Going way back to the beginning of August, "To the ( Read more... )

My sister's new ezine of historical fiction, Lacuna is now live. For those of you interested in the genre, it's a definite must-see. And for those of you interested in winning some free books, there's also a review contest going on.

Apparantly, a person going by the name of Richard Ridyard has been plagerizing various works in the horror field...and getting the resulting works published.

And then he tried to submit a plagerized version of a Stephen King short story to Shock Totem: http:// ( Read more... )

 Thoughtcrime Experiments is officially live. Follow the link to "Goldenseed," my fable of the Paradox of Value!

Yeah, I acutally wrote "Goldenseed" with the AP Microeconomics test in mind. So even if I bomb that test, I still got $200 out of the class.

That, and I got to be part of this truly awesome anthology. The appendicies are very enlightening ( Read more... )

It's as if the Muse were apologizing for yesterday.

I have a contract from a pro-paying market sitting in my inbox. Suffice to say, 'excited' does not begin to describe me.

Yet, aside from the capslocks titling, this post looks relatively sane.

Strange.

WHO-HOOOOOOOOOO!

King's Mound, the story that didn't make it in the UW Whitewater writing conference ( about which I have my supsicions) has recieved a very nice rejection from Andromeda Spaceways. A VERY nice rejection.

ASIM's submissions and review process lets the writer read the editor's comments on the story.  According to the comments on my rejection, the story ( Read more... )

So that's where it's been hiding.

Reflection's Edge has some excellent sci-fi, secondary world fantasy (and some real-world/urban stuff too, but I'm not complaining), and some interesting resources on...well, lots of things. Truth be told, I haven't been over all of it yet--I'm still in the flush of new discovery.

Only bad news: I'm too young to ( Read more... )

Ah, second semester, when the study halls I had coming to me appear: right next to each other, right after lunch. Two and  a half hours of no schoolwork. Not that it means no work.  I have novels going, you know.

And some short stories. Always, I pick up the novels, I wind up writing short stories. I shouldn't complain, though. These ones seem ( Read more... )

January 2009 has so far been one of the best months in my writing career. Four stories sold, all to truly awesome markets ( Read more... )

For the first time, I am experiancing watching an editor acutally, well, edit my work. 'Fortune Cookie', which is slated for the October edition of Kaliedotrope, has a few small changes to it. I think the editor's suggestions make it a little more subtle in some patches, yet clearer in others. I like them, but would never have thought of making ( Read more... )
