March News:

A bunch of Escape Artists news. One: I sold reprint rights of my snarky YA story, "The Goats are Going Places" to Podcastle! Two: I just finished recording a story for Podcastle (Samantha Henderson's The Mermaid's Tea Party) that will run soon. (ETA: here it is!) Three: Listeners voted On the Eyeball Floor as one of the top 5 2009 Escape Pod podcasts. Thanks, listeners! :)

Stomping on Yeti named me one of 25 Authors to Watch in 2010 and Beyond, and discussed some of my work in the first Spotlight.

I am planning to be at Norwescon - my first one of those!

As you know if you watched the Olympics, the Pacific Northwest had a very early spring. Pictures from the yard.

CW '06 news: Tinatsu Wallace sold to the Triangulation SF anthology, and Gord Sellar to Clarkesworld for the March issue!

You can now hear my story Turning the Apples on Pseudopod. The reading by Cayenne Chris Conroy is excellent - I'm thoroughly impressed by his ability to do so many different voices.

Come see one of my stories live and in person! My story "Moon at the Starry Diner" (Heliotrope, 2006) will be performed during Fertile Ground, the Portland Fringe Festival. It'll be a ten-minute play as part of Pulp Diction, on Sunday January 24th at 7:30, at the Brody Theatre.

And I was interviewed for a local paper near the St. Helens Book Shop! Erica Ryberg wrote a lovely article about writers, the internet, and indie bookstores, and it features me. How cool is that?

Blood & chokolat & freedom: my story "Child of Sunlight, Woman of Blood" is live at the fantabulous Beneath Ceaseless Skies.

The anthology Unplugged: The Web's Best SF 2008 garnered a STARRED review from Publishers Weekly that includes this quote:

"A short but superlative substantiation of the quality of speculative fiction being published on the Internet, this exceptional anthology of the best science fiction and fantasy put online in 2008 includes gems by genre luminaries as well as rising stars like Tina Connolly and Beth Bernobich."

(squee.)

Excellent work all around!

November News:

Back from World Fantasy, which was the best con ever. While there I got an acceptance from Pseudopod to podcast my Strange Horizons story Turning the Apples. Excellent - I have now officially cracked all the Escape Artists family of podcasts!

And speaking of Escape Artists, you can hear me read Holly Phillips' The Small Door on Podcastle. This was one of my absolute favorites to read -- I love this story.

Four riffs on fall: my story "On Glicker Street" is now out in the very pretty anthology Escape Clause, available on their website.

October News:

My story "The King of Halloween" is live in this month's Highlights Magazine! I'm pretty thrilled about this one, cause I had a subscription as a kid. You can find it at Borders all this month (well, at least till the third week or so, probably.)

My reading of Madeline Ashby's delightful story Boyfriend went live at Escape Pod in September while I was traveling. I had a lot of fun reading this one.
