Richard Horton does a summary of the different magazines, and my name actually shows up in his summary of Strange Horizons. I’m all the way at the end under “strong work.” It doesn’t give the title of the story, but since the only one that I’ve sold to Strange Horizons is “Portrait of Ari,” it’s

Well, I arrived in Portland laaaaate on Thursday night, half an hour before the end of NaNoWriMo. Did I win? Sort of. I went through the batteries of my computer and PDA and still had a hour and a half left of the flight. I only owed 431 words. I’d been writing an average of

I’ve been using the English place name generator for the estates and towns in a couple of stories. I just asked it for one for Mr. Dunkirk’s estate and it offered me, “West Rootsex.” No. No, I don’t think so. Edited to add: The next one was “Sex cot in the Vale.” Really, it’s usually
