There’s a new anthology out containing my creepy and bizarre short story “The Sleeping Quartet.” Grab it at Amazon here. The table of contents is rather impressive. There’s me, of course *cough*, Lavie Tidhar, Ekaterina Sedia, Cat Rambo, and Forrest Aguirre (these are just the names I can remember off the top of my head).

We’re pulling Apex Magazine out of hiatus and plan on releasing a new issue on the first Monday of July (July 6th). Why now? And why the magazine? As I’ve said before, I’m stubborn. That’s playing a role in this decision. But I also try to be sensible when it comes to expensive business decisions. [...]

My latest Tor.com guest blog can be read here. Go over and give me and the fine folks at Tor.com some traffic. Hopefully, I can start blogging more often for them when I’m unemployed next month.

First, make friends with Nick Mamatas. Second, whenever anything goes wrong, blame Brian Keene. Third, write good horror, but tell [...]

My job ends in eleven business days. I’ve been working with a great company on a rather interesting project that has reached the end of its contract. Unfortunately, thanks to the economy, there’s no project available for me to just step into after this one is completed. Bummer. I’ve been job hunting since mid-March and [...]

Charles Tan runs an interesting blog called Bibliophile Stalker. It’s one I regularly read and am now an interview subject of Mr. Tan’s. Read the interview for a good time.

This might have been the best Hypericon yet. If you didn’t attend, then you’re a loser. It seems I meet the coolest people at this convention, year after year. This year was no exception. Allow me to name drop. Rhonda Wilson (reviewer for MonsterLibrarian, a good person to be friends with) Joy Keeling (a mega-Apex [...]

Jeremy L. C. Jones conducted an interview with a number of the genre’s top editors (and me) for Clarkesworld Magazine.. It’s an interesting read, specifically the question of “How has the magazine business changed (especially as it pertains to fiction) since you started out?” See what all these top editors (and me) have to say [...]
