Jason Sizemore is the guest blogger on The Horror Library’s Blog-O-Rama. He’s talking about three women of horror that he knows and has included me. He opens my section with this: Mary Robinette Kowal is better than you. No, she doesn’t think this. ((I don’t.)) And she’ll kill me for making such a statement. ((Yes,

The Fix gave a lovely favorable review to The Solaris Book of New Science Fiction: Volume 2, edited by George Mann. It included this bit: Mary Robinette Kowal’s “Evil Robot Monkey,†the shortest piece in this anthology, is a smart tale about monkeys with implants and a cautionary tale of how intelligence can sometimes be

Every sale makes me happy, but some sales really tickle me. This is one is a very happy thing. My first three sales were to The First Line so I have a very soft spot for them. The magazine has a simple premise. The first line of a story is so important, but if you

I think I wrote almost all of this story on the subway. 2500 words of clockwork. It’s in a password protected post, but it’s the usual password. Don’t know what that is? Drop me a line and I’ll tell ya. And here’s the teaser. The clockwork chickadee was not as pretty as the nightingale. But

My Campbell clock started January 30, 2006 when Strange Horizons published my story, Portrait of Ari. That story is still on the web, but much of my other short fiction is hard to find. I’ve pulled five stories out of my sales that reflect a range of the kinds of fiction I write. If you

!!! I think that deserves more than a single exclamation point, don’t you? I got the email a little over a week ago and couldn’t even hint that I’d been told. That’s probably where the fever came from, all the pent-up excitement. Today though, they announced the full nomination list for the Hugos. The Cambell

Tech week is proceeding apace. Nearly out of the woods. Speaking of woods, here’s more canned content. One of the interesting things about moving is that one finds all sorts of things, like, say, a short story from 1978. I was nine years old. Here is an excerpt with the original spelling and punctuation. It’s
The 2007 SFWA(R) Final Nebula Awards(R) Ballot is up. I figure that everyone and their uncle is posting the whole list so I’m just linking to it. “For Solo Cello” didn’t make the cut. Sadness. BUT Titanium Mike by David Levine did, which has me very pleased because I liked that story a great deal.

I ran The Bride Replete through my real life critique group and hope that I’ve incorporated their notes successfully. If you have some time to read the whole thing and let me know if it makes sense, I’d appreciate it. 12,500 words of science-fiction. Think that’s long? You should have seen it in the 16,000

I just finished a short story which I’d love having a reader or two look over. It is science-fiction horror, so don’t volunteer if you don’t like that sort of thing. It’s in a password protected post, but it’s the usual password. Don’t know what that is? Drop me a line and I’ll tell ya.
