Two of mine make Locus list

Two of my novelettes have made the Locus recommended reading list for 2013.

"The Ugly Duckling" is a Bradburyesque tale, inspired by The Martian Chronicles. It appeared in Old Mars , the retro-anthology, edited by George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois, of stories set in the Mars that science fiction and fantasy authors imagined before robots began to explore the surface of the red planet.

"And Then Some" originally ran in Asimov's, then was reprinted in Lightspeed. It became the first episode in a serialized novel, The Kaslo Chronicles, about Erm Kaslo, a hardboiled confidential operative in a space-opera universe whose fundamental operating principle abruptly switches from rationalism to magic. The new order is not a good fit for Kaslo, who signs on to become chief henchman to a budding wizard who's long been preparing for the big change.

Two more episodes of the Kaslo story have since appeared -- "Sleeper" and "His Elbow, Unkissed" -- and they can be read for free in the Lightspeed archives (follow the links).
