A grab-bag of announcements today: first, very excited to say that my story “Calling on Behalf of the Dark Lord” (previously appeared in Translunar Travelers Lounge) will now be appearing in audio, as I have sold it to Cast of Wonders!
That’s the first sale of the year; I currently have three more stories being held for consideration, so as usual I am repeatedly refreshing the Submission Grinder in hopes of getting more information about when I might hear on those ones …
A few reviews and mentions to report, first about my most recent story, “The Heartbreaker’s Apprentice”:
- Myna Chang included “The Heartbreaker’s Apprentice” in her Flash Roundup for January 2025
- “The Heartbreaker’s Apprentice” got a very nice review (along with the rest of the Winter Folklore issue) at Tangent Online
- Another nice mention for “The Heartbreaker’s Apprentice” at SFRevu
- “The Heartbreaker’s Apprentice” is on Charles Payseur’s Queer Short SFF roundup for January 2025
Then some older stuff, which I hadn’t seen before:
- A glowing review of “The Crow Bridge” at SFF Reviews
- A nice review of “A Test of Trouble”, here
- And, very pleasing to me as I love libraries, a recommendation for “Annotated Setlist of the Mikaela Cole Jazz Quintet” in an article about online SFF magazines published by the Halifax Public Libraries!
Finally, I don’t know when this happened — I certainly hadn’t seen it before — but I have an entry on the ISFDB (the Internet Science Fiction Database). Makes me feel like a real writer!
