Nifty stuff, and a welcome for autumn

When I started out as a short story writer in 2008, I had my eye on three professional sites in particular: Fantasy Magazine (now Lightspeed), Beneath Ceaseless Skies, and Intergalactic Medicine Show. I have sent them stories over the years. They, kindly, have sent them back.

This year, something has changed. The "I'm sorry to inform you..." letters have changed to "If you can revise this..."

My story "Stitched Wings" will be in Beneath Ceaseless Skies near the holidays.

My story "The Sweetness of Bitter" was published this week at Intergalactic Medicine Show. You must have a subscription to read the full story (come on, you know you want to!), but you can read a teaser and see the absolutely stunning illustration they commissioned for my story. Walk softly and carry a nine iron, people.

When I was at Worldcon, I told Lightspeed editor John Joseph Adams, "You're next." Then I ran before he could call security on me.

Also, I have a very autumnal poem over at Every Day Poets.

On the fall theme, Bready or Not is leaping into the season starting next Wednesday. Up until Thanksgiving, I'll be featuring all pumpkin and maple recipes, and a few that even meld pumpkin and maple. It'll be delicious and evil and just maybe it will help me pretend it's sweater weather here. For now, I'm just delighted this is our first week fully below 100 degrees.
