Announcements 3, Stories 2

Firstly, I thought at first that it was some kind of secret, but turns out it's OK to talk about, so; my story "The Somnambulist" will be appearing in Kathy Sedia's Moonlit Domes, an anthology of urban fantasy stories which will appear sometime next year. I've seen other folks announcing their own acceptances here and there, and it looks like it's going to be a kick-ass TOC!

Secondly, with the help of a friend who wishes to remain anonymous, I now have a website! You can visit it here; there's not a lot of content there yet, but I'm going to be putting up a few of my older, out-of-print stories. First up is The Lethe Man, which Gwenda Bond and Christopher Rowe published a couple of years ago in their wonderful zine Say... "The Lethe Man" was actually shortlisted for The Fountain Award (Jeff Ford won), and it's one of my personal faves. I hope y'all enjoy it.

Also, I'm working on an FAQ for the website, and I'm looking for content. So ask me a question--heartfelt or absurd (or both)--in the comments, and if it's a good one I'll add it to the FAQ.

Is everything going to be okay?

I hope so. I do think so, eventually. Would you like a glass of water? Here. Slowly. I think they're gone now. If they do come back, we'll use the kerosene.

I think that's quite nice. I love your logo! I tend to think simpler is better, and this looks pretty slick and friendly.

Thanks, Eugene! Yeah, I didn't want to overload folks. The color scheme wasn't planned, but it works unexpectedly well.

Congrats again on the sale, dood!

Congrats on the sale and the new site (very slick), sir!

I understand you came up with a subtitle for the antho.? ;)

Thanks! I understand we'll be sharing (another) TOC.

I'm still lobbying for the subtitle. I think it's rather evocative . . .

OK, as long as you agree to pose for the cover.

It would be an honor.

Congrats, and pretty spiffy site.

Site looks pretty cool, man. Also, my question is: never mind who wrote the Book of Love, how is it cataloged so other people can find it?

wanna trade links?

OOPS. That was me.

[identity profile] snurri.livejournal.com 2006-08-21 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
In response to your question: I'm for it. I've got a link to your blog up already; would you like me to change it to the website, or include both?

All day, between sorting through hip-hop cookbooks and volumes of self-help for overachievers, she skimmed over the vanilla-scented pages. Isolde's confession that she wished Tristan would clip his toenails more often. Antony's bath-house boasts of bedroom mastery over Cleopatra. A bit of stone-carved doggerel from one of Sappho's lovers, complaining of the poet's table manners. At a quarter to five she closed the book, ran her fingers along the binding, and classed it under Disappointment, Inevitable: cross-referenced with Biological Imperatives and Persistence, Bittersweet.
