Just a little housekeeping today as I added a link to my recent publication of “Before the Wind” to the Writing page.  I added a PDF copy of my short story “In the Great City” as well.  “In the Great City” was published in the first edition of Sybil’s Garage; what a long way the magazine has come since then.

All changes made to the Writing page.

The good folks at Eschatology have published my flash-fiction piece “Before the Wind”.

Check it out here.

A few months back I and several others that were involved with the latest issue of Sybil’s Garage sat down with Jim Freund on The Hour of the Wolf radio show and talked about the magazine and our process.  Thank you to Jim for the audio file and for the Creative Commons license.

The Fantastic Fiction Reading Series, a monthly reading held at the KGB bar in lower Manhattan, is holding an auction of some really cool items to raise funds for the coming year’s expenses.  Item’s include Neil Gaiman’s signed keyboard, an early draft manuscript of a William Gibson novel signed by the author, a short story critique by Nancy Kress, and many other items, including a critique of your short story by the multi-talented Altered Fluid writing group.

Head over to the website, buy a ticket or two, and help support this long running speculative fiction reading series.

Earlier this season, which seems like a lifetime ago, I read as part of the NYRSF Reading Series here in Manhattan.  N. K. Jemisin and E.C. Myers, both fellow Altered Fluidians, read short stories, while I read the first chapter of an as-yet unnamed novel.  It seemed to be well received, and I had a lot of fun.

The audio file is only of my portion of the evening (I don’t want to be presumptuous and post anything by Nora or Eugene).  And, since everyone always asks, yes, that is my real accent. I don’t make it up just for reading my material.  Also, thank you to Jim Freund for hosting the reading and hooking me up with this recording.

Jeremy Jones of Clarkesworld Magazine sent some questions over to Altered Fluid, and we did our best to answer them in a completely serious manner.

Well, maybe not completely, but we did answer them.
