A weird thing seems to hit me around this time every year — I develop a powerful, almost compulsive, urge to eat the same food over and over again. Last year it was good hot chocolate — not that Swiss Miss crap (is that even food?), but not too fancy either. I preferred Ghiradelli, double [...]

New Post at the Magic District
My love letter to New York. Well, another one.
Whoopsie, Bisexuality Day
Looks like I jumped the gun a bit on my post about Circlet Press’ Like Twin Stars anthology. I thought I’d somehow missed the launch; turns out they were waiting for today, Celebrate Bisexuality Day, to announce it. D’oh! In any case, the book is now available, and there’s a longer excerpt from “The Dancers’ [...]
Happy Birthday to Me! (Arr.)
Avast! Just found an email in the spam bin from Podcastle, letting me know they’re accepting my novelette “The Narcomancer”, which originally ran in Helix and is currently archived at Transcriptase. Got the email six days ago, but only found it today. Kind of nice, actually — good news for my birthday. And, apropos of [...]
New Post at the Magic District…
…in which I rave about renewing an old love: Steven R. Boyett’s Ariel. And belatedly remember that I forgot to post for the Magic District last week. I got too many blogs, man…
Cheap Smut!
I just love writing subject lines like that one. Just realized that Circlet Press’ ebook anthology Like Twin Stars: Bisexual Erotic Stories is available for sale. You can find it here, near the bottom of the page. It’s super-cheap, considering it’s an ebook and there’s only three stories in it (20,000 words total) — just [...]
Another $%^ing one, what are they, breeding?
I posted last week in solidarity with the Outer Alliance, a spanking-new group of GLBTQI writers and straight/cisgendered allies. Lo and behold, within a week of its formation the OA has encountered its first incidence of homophobic discrimination. More on this there. It’s hard, sometimes, being a writer with a conscience. I mean, how much [...]
Science Fiction in Black Music
Happy Labor Day, USians! Also, fellow Brooklynites, enjoy the Caribbean day parade! Had a small dinner party for friends last night, firing up the balcony grill one last time before retiring it for the season. Baby back ribs, grilled green tomatoes and eggplant, and peach cobbler. Aaaangh. At Worldcon, I was on a panel about [...]
A bit of unvarnished enthusiasm.
Apologies, folks. I usually try to avoid profanity here, since all ages and social groups might be looking on, but for accuracy’s sake I want to give an actual quote of my reaction to the following information, when fellow AFer Raj forwarded it to me: HOLY SHIT I GOT IO9′ed!! Marvelous review here.
Clarkesworld Story & Interview Live!
Yee! My fantasy-Brooklyn short story “Non-Zero Probabilities” is now live at Clarkesworld. For those who attended the reading at Bluestockings Books last month, this is the story I read there. Also, there’s an interview up with me and several other “emerging writers” — many of whom I know, hi guys! — in which I get [...]
