I was just sent the final artwork for Corsets & Clockwork and wanted to pass it along! The publication date will be May 2011, right before I head off to Venice, where my contribution to the anthology is set. Here’s an excerpt from my story, “Code of Blood”: Pushing through the shoulder-to-shoulder mob was impossible. [...]

Well, I managed to finish the NaNoWriMo challenge, although of course the novel itself isn’t finished. In fact, I’ve just gotten to the first major ship-to-very-unnatural-ship battle scene that will begin the cascade of terrible events leading up to the climax of the story…. However, it’s time to take a little writing rest — I [...]

At my agent’s request, I’ll be writing Dead Horse for National Novel Writing Month. Well, actually, she didn’t suggest I write it for NaNoWriMo specifically — just that I get my rear in gear and write it, period. So I’ll use NaNoWriMo to kick-start my efforts in that direction…. Personal tragedy sends Mazarin Saint-Cloud into [...]

I just finished a mad writing spree to finish up a short story for Corsets & Clockwork, which I set in an alternative Venice because I’ve been so immersed in preparation for next semester’s Imagining Venice art/communication course. It was a lot of fun developing an alternative city that Napoleon hadn’t conquered, and I did [...]

The Día de los Muertos anthology from Elektrik Milk Bath Press will be coming out soon! My somewhat surreal short story “Pan de los Muertos” will be in it; I’m looking forward to reading the other stories when I get my copy. I’ve often thought that Día de los Muertos needs more English-language fictional attention [...]

A few last oddball photos in the Osaka album. Yesterday was my last full day in Osaka, and I spent it casually wandering around some of the side streets in this neighborhood. My first quest was to find Houzenji Temple and its moss-covered Fudo Myo-o, which was tucked in a side street not far from [...]
