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

It’s 1:30 am and I just got home from Christina’s housewarming party, which was the perfect way to end today. Besides hanging out with folks like Evan, Dave and David I also got to meet new folks like Garth and F.I. and Reuben. Good conversations, good food on seemingly every flat surface and beverages galore.

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

This, right here, is why I get cranky when I see an author write something like, “he flopped like a marionette.” Perhaps, “he flopped like a badly-operated marionette” might be applicable, but Joe Cashore will now demostrate that, yes, a marionette is capable of realistic movement. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live

We picked up the last of our typewriters (portable Smith-Corona with black pebbled finish) from the repair shop today. It has a smooth and lovely action. I typed a letter to celebrate. I think that, once we are in New York, I want to write a couple of short stories on our typewriters. I was

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
Prime Codex is for sale! And you have multiple reasons to want a copy. I’ve sort of kept mum about one of them, I realize. You already know that my story, “Rampion” appears in the anthology. But there’s this other thing I forgot to mention. After I sold them “Rampion,” I had one of those

Rob and I biked down down to the coffee shop. Jay Lake was there for all of five minutes after we got there. Karen recounted a little of her Vegas adventures before I settled in to write. David Levine and Kate came in about half an hour before Rob and I headed for home. It
You can read the full review of Apex Digest #9 at the Whispers of Wickedness website. Here’s what they say about my story. “Locked In” by Mary Robinette Kowal is a good short story. I like the premise and the flow of the story a lot, but for me the ending was a little weak.

Why stop for research, when all I need is to throw in some brackets to remind myself to come back to the spot in the story? Here, I don’t actually need to understand astronomy, since my POV character doesn’t, but I do need some jargon for my young over-excited astronomy student to toss around as

This font emporium that I love, sent out a coupon as part of a celebration of World Book and Copyright Day. That’s today. Did anyone else know this? The connection between 23 April and books was first made in 1923 by booksellers in Catalonia as a way to honour the author Miguel de Cervantes who
