I turned in my story, “Tomorrow and Tomorrow,” for Apex Digest’s new anthology Gratia Placenti. Jason Sizemore, the editor says: Aegri Somnia, the first featured writer anthology was Stoker nominated. Still blows my mind. No way do I expect a repeat nomination performance (but we guy can hope, right?). What I can promise is that […]

Yesterday I went down to join a group of writers at the Malibu–I had no idea what I was getting into. The group has apparently been meeting for some seventeen years, every Wednesday at the same restaurant. It was a lively bunch of writers, none of whom I had met before. I went because Keith
Apex Science Fiction and Horror Digest‘s online magazine interviewed Beth about Shimmer. During the interview, I am compared to a horse… Beth Wodzinski is the Editor-in-Chief of Shimmer Magazine. You’ve probably heard of it…attractive perfect-bound magazine that could probably call itself the young cousin of Lady Churchill’s Rosebud Wristlet. Beth Wodzinski is respected and well-liked

Once again, I am exhausted after a day of fun. I wound up joining the panel on Near-Future Politics unexpectedly after Gavin Grant complained that it was made up of men. I commented that I had volunteered for that and he insisted that I replace him. I’m glad I did, but it was pretty funny

Paul Abbamondi just reviewed Prime Codex the anthology from Paper Golem that I have a story in. A short piece that is positively sure to get you to mutter “a-ha!” at its cruelly twisted reveal, “Rampion” by Mary Robinette Kowal is the sort of story that is most enjoyable on its first read. Read it

Tangent Online reviews Apex #9 “Locked In†by Mary Robinette Kowal is a dark and serious piece of flash fiction that’ll disturb readers on any side of the “Pro-Life/Pro-Death†issue. The story is emotionally engaging, provocative, and leaves you thinking. A fine read that I highly recommend, but only to those who haven’t had to

Matt Wallace reviewed Apex #9 and had this to say about my story. Next up, flash fiction from Mary Robinette Kowal. It pains me to say this, but “Locked In” really didn’t get it done for me. It certainly didn’t have the impact that it seemed to have on others. I love Ms. Kowal to
Another HorrorScope: review of Apex # 9 is up at Horrorscope. A piece of flash follows next with Locked In by Mary Robinette Kowal. It wouldn’t be included here if it wasn’t engaging. It concerns euthanasia in a domestic setting involving a mute participant. Of course, with any cool piece of flash, the ball doesn’t
