gordsellar0 Comments

Well, only subscribers will see it for now, but I just got my contributors’ copies for the July 2012 issue of Asimov’s SF, which contains my short poem “Fix” (along with work by a number of other wonderful writers, including Robert Reed and Michael Blumlein, the latter an author I’ve read and admired since I first started reading speculative fiction: The Brains of Rats is still on my shelf, here in Korea!) Even better, This is the first of two appearances I’ll be making in Asimov’s this year, with my short story “The Bernoulli War” coming in the following issue …

Well, one of the first stories I sold professionally has finally been podcast over at Machine of Death. Download/listen to it here, and my thoughts and reflections about the story here. Brett Donnelly did a great narration, and I’m pleased with it! For those who missed the news, I also have a story forthcoming in the next volume of the series, though I’ve no idea when that’s coming out…

The Immersion Book of Steampunk and “The Clockworks of Hanyang”

gordsellar0 Comments

While I sit on some other news that I cannot announce yet, there is something I forgot to mention in terms of a story publication! The Immersion Book of Steampunk is apparently out (since 20 September — I’m sadly a bit late), and editors Gareth D. Jones and Carmelo Rafala saw fit to include (among stories by a great list of contributors) my Korean Steampunk story, “The Clockworks of Hanyang.” (More information about the story is here, and you can get the book here (USA), or here (UK), or if you’re in Korea, it’s here. Or, you can order direct …

The Clockworks of Hanyang

gordsellar0 Comments

“The Clockworks of Hanyang” appeared in The Immersion Book of Steampunk, edited by Gareth D Jones and Carmelo Rafala (Immersion Press, September 2011). It was reprinted in Sean Wallace’s anthology The Mammoth Book of Steampunk Adventures in the fall of 2014. This story was my response to the discussion I ran across in 2010 of the revisionist historiography that seemed inherent to a lot of steampunk writing and fandom. (As discussed in like this one by Charles Stross and this one by Nisi Shawl, along with this critique by Tobias Buckell and the post that brought the discussion to my attention — this one …

gordsellar0 Comments

So I just got an email from Sheila Williams that Asimov’s new Kindle-specific ebook, Enter A Future: Fantastic Tales from Asimov’s Science Fiction, is now available. It features stories by a bunch of amazing writers, namely: Connie Willis Allen Steele Kristine Kathryn Rusch Robert Reed Sara Genge Mary Rosenblum Nancy Kress Daryl Gregory Robert Silverberg (Author) … and, gasp, it also includes something by me. (My story in the collection is this one.) It’s pretty mind-blowing to be in such great company (again–this story seems to do that), and the collection is definitely worth the $7.99 US if you have a …

Machine of Death anthology hits #1 at Amazon

gordsellar3 Comments

I mentioned my story “Improperly Prepared Blowfish” was included in the Machine of Death anthology. It was one of the first stories I ever sold, and the book is now out. In fact, yesterday the book was #1 on Amazon, because of “a clever bit of internet marketing that urged people to buy the book on October 26th.” That makes the book, a book in which one of my stories is included, a #1 Bestseller, folks. Wow. No thanks to me, obviously, since I was busy and behind on email and forgot to post about the Oct. 26th scheme — …

Yes, the Immersion Book of SF (edited by Carmelo Rafala and published by Immersion Press) is now available for preorder on Amazon.com. Along with Tanith Lee, Lavie Tidhar, Aliette de Bodard, and others, I have a story included in it, titled “The Broken Pathway” — a tale not only set in Korea, but in the very area where I have lived for the past five years (except, of course, it’s not set in the present day). It’s a tale of geomantic warfare, colonialism, love, regret, and harsh justice. You can find out more about my story here, and you can find out …

If you’re up for a story about far-future Buddhists, ecological devastation, and what our descendants might think of us, check my most recent publication, “The Bodhisattvas”, which is now available over at the latest edition of Subterranean Online, guest edited by Jonathan Strahan. (Also, stories by Maureen McHugh and Tom Holt! I think more stories will be going online throughout the month so do check back on it, too.) It’s especially wonderful to share a TOC with Maureen, who I count not just as one of my teachers and  a literary hero but also as a friend.
