The fabulous Adele has worked her magic on the audio recording from Using Mythology in Writing panel from Alt.Fiction in June and it’s now up as a podcast at Un:Bound. I appear alongside Mark Chadbourn and Adrian Tchaikovsky. I recall that we had to come up with one true myth and one fake one and…

Alt.Fiction
A great time had by all, although Adele and the Unbound crew spent most of the day recording the podcasts. Clearly the QUAD was not accustomed to hosting writers as they ran out of both pint glasses and every kind of beer except Stella by Saturday night. Here’s Adele modeling her new tattoo, a line…

Publication: Wild Desire
My essay on Johanna Sinisalo’s Troll: A Love Story is up on the new magazine for the Mythic Imagination Institute. “Wild Desire” was originally a conference paper given at the International Conference on the Fantastic in the Arts a few years back. http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=magicwombat-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&m=amazon&f=ifr&md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&asins=0802141293 Here’s a snippet: Wild Desire: Gendering the Other in Sinisalo’s Troll: A…
Publication: Lachrymae Draconis
I have a new publication out in the latest issue of Realms. It’s a kind of medieval mystery with a dragon called “Lachrymae Draconis” which you’ll quickly figure out is Latin for “dragon tears” — an entirely fake commodity that young Colburga has been dealing in with the help of the dragon she’s got hidden…
Albacon Wrap-up
It was a crazy and fun-filled Albacon this year. Of course one of the most fun parts was having a chance to catch up with the wonderful Liz Hand. Fortunately, I’ll see her the end of the month, too, at the Poe conference at UMass Amherst (no, I don’t have many details to give —…
Albacon!
You’ll be hard pressed to catch up with me the next few days, because I will be marinating in Albacon, the local SF/F/H — and this year, romance — con. I somehow ended up on the planning committee which included (to my surprise) setting up the program book (eek!) as well as helping to publicise…
Pi-Con Bound
I’m off to Pi-Con today. All kinds of interesting things going on there, and interesting people including the guest of honor, Mary Doria Russell. I’m on a few panels, I will be signing books, too. Maybe I should bring a kantele to play just in case no one shows for the signing. I’m also having…
