Excerpt from Macabre Ink interview - The last question by Loren Rhoads

I’d like to mention that last year I had seven short pieces published in places ranging from City Slab to Instant City to Not One of Us. That last story, called “The Fox and the Foreigner,” was just long-listed for the British Science Fiction Association Award, alongside stories by Gene Wolf, Pat Cadigan, and Lucius Shepard. I’m very excited about being in that company.

Toward the end of last year, I roughed out two new novels. One involves Alondra DeCourval, the magical detective featured in Sins of the Sirens in the story “Last-Born.” The other is a Hong Kong-style revenge story, done as space opera. I’m looking forward to polishing those up soon and shopping them around.

In the meantime, my novel AS ABOVE, SO BELOW, spun from “The Angel’s Lair” (which also appears in Sirens), is out at a small press now. The proposal for an “editor’s choice” anthology from the ten issues of Morbid Curiosity is with an agent. I’m eager to see those become realities as 2008 progresses.

This is an exciting time for me as a writer and editor. I can hardly wait to see what happens next.
