Locus in Focus!
Dear, beautiful all, I need your help!
If you liked the Nebula-nominated Tower of Mud and Straw, please consider voting for it in the Locus Poll. My publisher and I never thought Tower would achieve success—and we never submitted the book to the magazine, which means you'd have to use a "write-in" field for Best Novella:
Tower of Mud and Straw, Yaroslav Barsukov (Metaphorosis)

Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

Bookworm Blues
Another lifelong ambition fulfilled—I've appeared on Bookworm Blues, as an interviewee and as a book :)
Here I ramble on about my writing process, bullet trains, African elephant brains, and being a former game developer:

And here's the review that almost made me, a grown-ass man, cry. "[Tower of Mud and Straw is] different, and eye-catching, with stunning prose and a shocking amount of depth and story packed in a few short pages."
