It's been a while since my last post. Things happened. Highlights!

Five years on my own. I wouldn't have it any other way.

There were many great stories in August, but these four were the ones that floored me.

Give the audio version, brilliantly read by J.S. Arquin, a listen.

This story had a crooked path to publication, but it got there, and it's got a great home at the relaunched Plasma Frequency magazine.

My top four in every category (except that one I always miss). So much good stuff this year, it was incredibly hard to pick.

In July 2015, just now wrapping up, I read 61 pieces of 2015 award eligible fiction. Most of those were flash and short stories, but it included a few novels and longer-form pieces. These 9 are the ones that will stick with me most and longest, including my favorite novel of 2015 so far.

We got married. There were fish. It was awesome.

Happy new story day! Due to many things, most directly my lack of submissions late in 2014, I haven't been able to make many new story announcements in a while, but I am very happy to have "There Once Was a Lady" in New Myths Issue #30.
