Zombies and Sociobiology
Some might remember me posting a link regarding a call for papers on the zombie for an interdisciplinary collection?
Well, today (Hallowe’en!) is the deadline, and even though I’m a good half-day ahead of the recipient, I got it tidied up and decided to send it off now. The gist of my proposal is that zombies [...]
Busy, So Raftman
I’m busy as all get-out, and while I’ve fallen out of the habit of sharing the interesting stuff I run across online — there’s just so much of it! — I do want to share this, which I found at Tor.com… The Raftman, by Keith Bearden:
[redacted] and the Blowfish
Yet more good writing-related news: the Machine of Death anthology is going to be illustrated, and (I think this is firm) I’m chuffed at who they’ve chosen to illustrate my little yakuza story! (Which some might remember is titled “Improperly Prepared Blowfish.”)
(NOTE: I noticed that the guys over at Machine of Death is not publicizing [...]

When we arrived in Prince Albert, a town in Northern Saskatchewan, I ended up at this small elementary school where one of my classmates was a kid named Todd. Now, this was in the fourth grade, when secondary [...]

Now, I just need to get the manuscript tidied (ie. enter the copy-edits into my final text) and email it to [...]
Poems Forthcoming
I haven’t sold many poems before, but I have a bunch on my hard drive and, happily, unlike SF, poetry doesn’t necessarily age quickly.
I’m very happy to announce that Camille Alexa has bought three of my poems for Diet Soap: “Dadeumie Sori,” “Ode to the Competent,” and “Tian Zhu Jiao.” The first two poems will [...]
If You’ve Emailed Me…
… or left a comment, or tried to call and not gotten a response:
Sorry, but we’ve been moving house!
This means that right now is my brief and perhaps my last internet connection for the next day or two. The campus network’s security system is allergic to Linux, or maybe to having two computers hook up [...]
