20Spec

I’m pleased to announce that my story “Nor the Moonlight” will be appearing in the upcoming 20Spec Anthology published by Absolute X Press/Edge. All of the stories in the collection are speculative tales set against the backdrop of the 1920s: The Jazz Age, Prohibition, Decadence and Decay in Europe, etc.

The final title and publication date are pending, but the TOC is up here.

Major thanks are due to Erika Holt and Jaym Gates for choosing my story. I’m also honored to share the TOC with so many fine writers (including several Clarion West classmates: go John, Jack and Frank!).

And even more good news: the February issue of Lightspeed is up. Not only is it chock full of awesome fiction by Cat Rambo, Julie E. Czerneda, Ken Liu, and James Patrick Kelly, but it also includes an article about creating digital lifeforms with the visual effects supervisors for Avatar & Tron:Legacy, written by yours truly. Many thanks to John and the Lightspeed crew for the opportunity to explore this cutting edge field.

My article won’t publish live on the website until February 8th, but the complete issue of Lightspeed is available for download now in most eReader formats. Head on over and get your copy and support this fantastic magazine.

And more news soon. But that should do it for now.
