Another very positive review of my short story “Ebb” that’s in Space and Time #107, this time on the SF/F review site Tangent Online. Reviewer Steve Fahnestalk calls “Ebb” a “wonderful story, wonderfully told.” Visit their site to read his full review.

As I noted in a previous post about the equally glowing review of “Ebb” on SFReader.com last May, “Ebb” had a long and difficult path to publication. I’m delighted to see that my vision for that story, that world, and that character is resonating with so many people.

There’s a review of the new second Homeless Moon chapbook Imaginary Places, including my story “Adrift in Ishtakar,” on the blog of my writing colleague Shara Saunsaucie.

Shara enjoyed the story a great deal, which is very cool. That story is much more like the sort of stuff I usually write, character-driven secondary-world fantasy, than the story I had in last year’s chapbook, which was more experimental.

If you’d like to read it yourself, along with four other very neat stories by my HM cohorts that are likewise set in lands taken from Alberto Manuel’s Dictionary of Imaginary Places, visit our Homeless Moon site and download a free PDF copy of the chapbook. Thanks!

I had a great time at ReaderCon last weekend! Met lots of very cool folks, many of whom had very nice things to say about Beneath Ceaseless Skies. Hosted the reading for the magazine on Sunday afternoon, which went quite well. Got lots of very insightful advice on magazine things, talking shop with helpful people like Neil Clarke. Heard lots of neat writerly tidbits by listening to people like Gene Wolfe. Picked up lots of reading recommendations. Had more than a few pints of the regional Sam Adams Brick Red Ale. :)

All in all, a great weekend. Will definitely plan to return next year!

There’s a review and discussion of my story “Colonized,” from last year’s Homeless Moon chapbook, posted on the blog of my writer colleague Shara Saunsaucie. It’s a weird story, for certain, so if you’re curious about what I was trying to do, please take a look.  Thanks to Shara for reviewing the chapbook and all her LJ readers for taking the time to comment.
