The Joy that was GenreCon 2015

Mary Robinette Kowal delights us with a tiny puppet show!

At any rate, I’m stoked to finally be able to announce that I’ve got a new bizarro ghost story in this anthology, which, if the awesome-creepy cover and…… Continue reading Blurring the Line: Cover and Contents!

Now that Lament for the Afterlife has begun to show its face on reviews lists and bookshelves (both virtual and real) it’s high time to celebrate its being in the world! (I know, I know.
