Teases
Here's a little tease: the cover for a short story that Silver Publishing will be releasing this winter. The tentative release date is December 13.
He's awfully pretty, isn't he?
"Joys R Us" is a Christmas story. And if that's not enough holiday for you, Dreamspinner will release my Hanukkah story in December; that one's called "A Great Miracle Happened There." I'll have blurbs for you as the dates grow closer.
And also in December or January, I'll have a new novel for you. It's called Brute and it's a nice, long 90,000 words. More on that later too!

Alter Ego
I had a crappy day at work today. Other people screwed up and I'm stuck having to clean up their mess while simultaneously trying to quell panic among students and colleagues. And on top of that, my older daughter is going to have a slumber party tomorrow, which means there will be 8 13-year-old girls in my house. Shudder.
Oh, but I'm going to survive this, because next week I get to climb on a plane and fly to Albuquerque and be Kim Fielding for several days. You see, Kim Fielding is a pen name--not because I don't want people to know what I write, but because I publish academic stuff under my real name and don't want the two worlds to mix too much.
The benefit of this is that I can be someone else for a little while. Kim Fielding is not a professor and does not have to deal with administrators or attend endless meetings or write pointless reports or try to please committees. Kim Fielding may have children, but they do not require constant chauffeuring and they are always well-behaved. Kim Fielding gets to spend her days traveling and writing fiction. And next week, Kim Fielding gets to attend GayRomLit.
I am ready. After my recent sprint from terminal 2E to terminal 2F at Charles de Gaulle with my heavy carryon weighing down my shoulder the whole way, I bought a laptop/carryon bag with wheels. I have swag to give away to other attendees. I have left instructions at work and home for everyone to carry on in my absence. Mentally, I'm already on my way.
Are any of you going to be there next week? If so, Kim Fielding can't wait to meet you!

Balls
On Monday, October 8, Dreamspinner will be releasing
Don't Try This at Home
. One of my stories is included in this anthology: "Tyler Wang Has a Ball."
"Tyler Wang" takes place at a testicle festival. Yes, such events really exist. And just today I learned that it is now possible to purchase a beer brewed with bulls' testicles. I have no idea why one would choose to purchase such a thing, let alone drink it, but I guess there's a market. Myself, I think I'll stick to phallic baked goods.
