New Sale ;o)

“Snow Comes to Hawk’s Folly” has been picked up by the Panverse All-Novella Anthology Series (Panverse One is available at Amazon now).

This story is a sequel to “Iron Shoes,” which is expected to come out in February of 2010 in Alembical 2. Panverse Two is expected to be available in May 2010, so they’re close enough together to make me very happy!

“Iron Shoes” is set in 1905 Saratoga Springs, while “Snow Comes to Hawk’s Folly” is set three years later, in 1908. I have worked on a third in this series, set in 1933, but it will be a while before that one gets out. ;o)

I am just tickled pink to be included in this anthology, and I know that it’s going to be a fantastic combination.

Just found out…

…that my story “Masks of War,” originally published in Fantasy Magazine in July of 2008, recevied an Honorable Mention from the editor of The Year’s Best Horror, which is quite an honor.

The story is still available on-line free, and I’ll leave it to the readers to decide whether or not they would call this a ‘horror’ story.

Story Added

I’ve just added my short story “Touching the Dead” to my website, for those who haven’t had the opportunity to read it in its entirety.

This story was originally printed in Jim Baen’s Universe, back in June of 2007, and was selected for The Best of Jim Baen’s Universe 2, which came out in July of 2008.

ArmadilloCon

ArmadilloCon 31 was a blast, and I happily survived my first stint as an instructor for the writing workshop….my first time to be on that side of the table. I had a wonderful time catching up with all the great Texas fans and writers, and am really looking forward to FenCon (which is coming up in September).

Afterimage

My science fiction story “Afterimage” has just been purchased for the April 2010 issue of Jim Baen’s Universe!

Thanks to the folks at Baen’s Bar who critiqued it for me, and to Michael Merriam who answered my many questions about Retinitis Pigmentosa and blindness. (The detective in this story has RP).

Iron Shoes

My novella “Iron Shoes” will be published in the forthcoming second volume of Alembical.

Set in 1905 in Saratoga Springs, this is the story of a young widow who has to resort to magical help to save her farm, and face her own demons at the same time.
