I've been a fan of Shannon Fay ever since I read her micro story "To Give You the Night Sky." I'm not sure how to classify her as an author. She has several stories in professional publications but no book release. (Many of these stories are with Daily Science Fiction, to which I am jealous. … Continue reading SHARE: A Seed in the Ground, by Shannon Fay

“Webs”–read by the Author
One of my flash stories was recently featured on the AntiSF Radio Show. This was one of the first stories I wrote for this blog. The text of the story can still be found on the AntiSF homepage HERE. I love the AntiSF Radio Show. Not only does it feature some great (and usually humorous) … Continue reading “Webs”–read by the Author

My Story is now out in the Bards and Sages Quarterly!
I'm happy to report the July issue of the Bards and Sages Quarterly is out now at multiple retailers. This issue features my Iric flash story "The Tree Sign."

SHARE: DSF – Story Time by Laura Anne Gilman
This is a nice little story with great narrative voice...despite having almost no narration. The dialogue exchange really delivers that childish curiosity. And the revelation at the end is heartbreaking. That being said, the work is not without its problems. I question the choice of the word "youngling." Why not simply use "child"? In this … Continue reading SHARE: DSF – Story Time by Laura Anne Gilman
The Wonderful Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
One of my favorite cartoons when I was young was the 1974 Chuck Jones animated version of "Rikki Tikki Tavi," narrated by Orson Wells. The classic video can now be accessed in a public archive HERE. This might seem a bit odd, since I was born exactly a decade after this production was released and … Continue reading The Wonderful Rikki-Tikki-Tavi

A new story, exclusively on Bewildering Stories!
So I totally forgot to post the link to my new short story on Bewildering Stories! Oops!

REBLOG: How To Be A Fantasy Character 101
Here is a very humorous approach to the now common list of fantasy cliches that has become almost cliche itself. I'm surprised by how many of these I've actually ignored from the start. Maybe that's due to my coming into my current habit with a decent amount of experience in hand. As with all warnings … Continue reading REBLOG: How To Be A Fantasy Character 101
