I woke this morning to two brilliant reviews of ‘A Shot of Salt Water’, my contribution to the May issue of The Dark. The first appeared as part of Brit Mandelo’s “Short Fiction Spotlight: Spring Smorgasbord” over on Tor.com, in which the review of my story gets to rub shoulders with those of Seanan McGuire’s work,…… Continue reading “Brine, ships & harpoon-wielding mermaids…” Two excellent reviews of ‘A Shot of Salt Water’

‘Carousel’ featured on This Is Horror’s podcast
A while back, the lovely folks over at This Is Horror asked me to be a part of their podcast series. The result?

Aurealis Weekend: In which Awards were won!
You’d think, as a writer, I’d have a full stock of words upon which to draw at any given moment. Phrases prepared for, you know, speaking to other word-based life forms. Quips and witticisms locked and loaded, ready for quick-shot commentary. Words are my business. I’ve spent years thinking about them, reading them, turning them…… Continue reading Aurealis Weekend: In which Awards were won!
The Female Factory: ‘Baggage’
How to explain that a really rather nasty story sprang from watching a really adorable documentary? Angela loves badgers. Angela thinks they’re adorable. Angela might be slightly obsessed with them − to the point where she made Lisa sit down and watch the aforementioned documentary, Badgers − Secrets of the Sett. Lisa also enjoyed the documentary (or said she…… Continue reading The Female Factory: ‘Baggage’
