Yes I can!

I just heard that my story "Rite of Taming" will be included in the Warrior Wisewoman 4 anthology.

PURR.

Featuring zombies, a two-headed mutt named Hades, a horde of six-legged calicos and a Crazy Cat Lady of a post-apocalyptic Earth, this story drew inspiration from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "Little Prince" (with zombies) and is a very ( Read more... )

Before he became a High Priest, Ankhu had been a love-struck novice. And before that, he had been a boy who lost a beloved pet, Nedjem. When the woman who broke his heart returns to Thebes, Nedjem will lead him to a journey of closure, understanding, and facing demons - literally.

This is pretty much the main plot arc of my story "Make None to Weep ( Read more... )

A mischievous cat (as if there's any other kind) and his human, a High Priest of Anubis, embark on an underwater adventure in the Nile to solve a murder. This sums up the main plot ine of my short story “What the Carp Saw (and Couldn’t Tell while still Alive)”, set in ancient Egypt.

I woke up to the good news that it sold to ASIM, for their #56 ( Read more... )

I just heard from the Editor of Aoife's Kiss that they'll publish my short story "Where Dragons Fear to Tread" in their June 2012 issue.

This is one of my earlier stories, and an unlucky one, since it has been accepted three times by magazines that closed before my story appeared in their pages, most notable among them Flashing Swords and their ( Read more... )

"Upon the Solar Winds, the Hunt" is a dark sf flash that originated in a 2010 Liberty Hall Flash Challenge. I just heard that it will be published in the August 30th "issue" of Eschatology.

Many thanks to everyone who critted!

After a couple of dry months, finally, some good news.

My short story "Demon Kebabs, with Fries on the Side" sold to Murky Depths (winner of the 2010 BFS for best periodical).

A cat that hunts (and eats) demons, a young woman with weird dreams (or hallucinations?) and a dead brother who cooks demon meat.

Many thanks to everyone who critted this one ( Read more... )

With all the kitteh trouble (Phoebus tried to strangle himself earlier today), I forgot to post about this:

"Consumption", my necromancer story, finally sold to Sam's Dot Publishing (Aoife's Kiss) fot their anthology Cover of Darkness, forthcoming in November 2011.

This was one of my "orphaned" stories, as it had sold to Renard's Menagerie just ( Read more... )

The Aether Age: Helios.

Millennia ago, Greece, Egypt and other ancient civilizations underwent industrial revolutions beneath a sky that, in a blink of history, burgeoned into life and mystery... Take flight on airships, balloons and wooden rockets. Soar with winged hoplites, exiled princesses, explorers and philosophers. Witness the struggle for ( Read more... )
