Hiding in the Cloisters

Good grief, time has gone past. I’ve been working on a lot of different projects which have yet to get to the point where I can start shouting about them, and I would really love to shout. But while I’m still mainly in stealth mode, I’ll deactivate my cloaking device and peer out from behind the pillar to say: the next edition of beautiful weird fiction magazine Cloister Fox is soon going to press, and I have a story in it. The theme of the issue is The Ruins, and looking at the other authors involved, I’m very keen to read their offerings.

You can pre-order a copy through Etsy here, and I recommend the first two editions, too, if you haven’t come across it before. It should be out in the world by July.

I’ve got short stories coming up in Black Static and the Peach Pit anthology from Dzanc Books later in the year, and articles in Writing the Future, from Dead Ink, and in Interzone magazine. And I’ve been working away on my Small Objects project: this year I’m writing one piece of flash fiction per week, with an accompanying photo of some small thing that’s caught my attention. It’s here on the blog (click on the title at the top of the page) if you want to take a look at the latest piece, which is another small item: a tiny homage to one of my favourite writers.

Hopefully I’ll have more news to post soon.
