End of semester crunch-time has kept me busy, but I wanted to pop in to squee about Paula Guran’s incredible review of Songs for Dark Seasons, which appeared in Locus — and you can now read in full online here. Some highlights that precede Guran’s wonderful in-depth analysis of each story include: “All of the…… Continue reading Another brilliant review and a snapshot!

A marvellous review!
I must admit: I don’t usually read reviews of my work. Positive or negative, the reviewers’ words have a way of sticking in my head, taking up space that should be dedicated to other words — words that will eventually become characters and plots and whole new stories I can send out into the world…… Continue reading A marvellous review!
Praise for SONGS FOR DARK SEASONS

First week, first story, first review!
‘Little Digs’ is the third story I’ve been lucky enough to have published in The Dark magazine, and it’s now the third story Charles Payseur has reviewed over at Quick Sip Reviews.

Here’s Looking at You, 2015
Gazing back at 2015, I feel a bit like Scuttle in The Little Mermaid, flipping the telescope to look through both ends. What is near weirdly seems so far off and then — bam! — what was well away in the distance is brought instantly close. All of a sudden it’s New Year’s Eve, the…… Continue reading Here’s Looking at You, 2015
“Brine, ships & harpoon-wielding mermaids…” Two excellent reviews of ‘A Shot of Salt Water’
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’
