If you’ve ever wanted to hear my voice , now’s your chance. Go to Shimmer and listen to me reading Jaguar Woman in English and Spanish. While you’re there why not read Shimmer issue 10? It’s available as a free PDF. Or get a subscription.
I’ve been told Maquech got an honorable mention in The Year’s Best Science Fiction, Twenty-Sixth Annual Collection, edited by Gardner Dozois. Maquech, the little story that could, was the poor, unloved runt of the litter that no one wanted to buy (which is harsh, considering my stuff gets rejected all the time, constantly, by everyone and their mother). Eventually, Futurismic came along and published it. It was read at a radio station (WRFR) in Maine and is available on the Internet if you want to listen to it.
My science fiction short story Maquech, which originally appeared in Futurismic in 2008, was on the radio this weekend over at Beam Me Up WRFR in Maine. It’s bizarre to think that people on the other side of the content listened to my story about an insect and an exotic pet dealer in near-future Mexico City. Anyway, you can list to it here.
Check out the June issue of Expanded Horizons and read my short story, “King of Sand and Stormy Seas.” This was the second story I sold back in 2006 and it appeared in Shimmer.
By the way, have you stopped by Innsmouth Free Press? We’re alive!
I sold a reprint of “King of Sand and Stormy Seas” (first appeared in Shimmer, 2006) to the zine Expanded Horizons. The contract from Hades Publishing for the Tesseracts Thirteen anthology arrived and I’ll be mailing that back Monday.
Finally, Innsmouth Free Press makes its official launch June 1. The little Canadian Lovecraftian zine is made on a shoe-string budget with much, much help from Paula R. Stiles (editor, United States), staff writer Amanda .J. Spedding (Australia) and many more talented contributors who regularly send us stuff like Jeff W. Edwards, Amy Harlib and G.W. Thomas. Monster Byte writers appearing on the website in the future include (in no particular order) Mari Ness, Amanda Davis, Scott Woods, Deborah Walker, William Bullard, Sara Bickley and Sam Farrell.
You’ve probably seen the lineup of fiction writers for the first issue, which includes Nick Mamatas, Pamela K. Kinney, Kírk Barrett , Caroline Totten, Robert Borski and the always lovely Paula R. Stiles who is a trooper and reads slush, copy-edits and listens to my ramblings during our editorial meetings.
There will be many more cool writers and contributors joining us during the next few months and I hope you all like our stuff.
