I’m over the moon to see my story “The Fairy Ring” come up on PodCastle #371! I’ve not heard the reading myself, but I’ll give it a good listen tonight.

The blog’s been quiet, but I’ve been writing away: I’m deep into the second draft of one of my John Demetrius stories, “Proteus,” and my story “The Wingbuilder” has racked up an impressive number of rejections in just one month of sending it out (clearly it’s not to everybody’s taste). I’m trying again to find an agent for my novel, Stranger Bird. There’s only so much time in the day for blogolalia.

But–I have have big plans for some new posts: for months I’ve promised a friend from my Quaker meeting a little writing about the science fiction of hope and aspiration (rather than our culture’s current obsession with dystopia and apocalypse).  There’s more on the way!
