I’m pleased to let you know that the zombie anthology, Rotting Tales, is now available from Pill Hill Press and it features my short story “High Plains Lazarus” — obviously influenced by spaghetti Westerns as well as Joe R. Lansdale his own self, but with a mystical twist. The book will be available on Amazon…
Category: Queen of Everything
Publication: The Last Ant
My short humour piece “The Last Ant” is up at Wild Violet, the literary magazine that also published the even more esoteric piece “Corrections to the Rules of Fimble Fowl (for 3 players or 4),” the semi-true/semi-autobiographical piece “Me and Margery Kempe” and the MLA-inspired flash fiction story “Wixey” (bonus points for identifying the words…
Reminder: WLoAD needs women!
Call for Submissions “Passion. Vision. Daring. Humour. Any alone will be intriguing–but to have them all is to be sublime.” That is the mandate of the new journal for the Women’s League of Ale Drinkers, for which I am editor. We seek only work that meets these criteria, the output of creative women who may…
At Elena’s
My company in the bedroom at Elena’s this weekend: the orange mannequin and the gorilla in the wheelchair. Never walked into the room once without starting at the mannequin, thinking it was someone sitting at the computer. We had fun last night, drinking Bubbly Bisons (prosecco + Zubrowka) and watching The Women, yakking and yukking….
Stephanie Johnson: The Creative Process
Kicking off our Women’s History Month celebration with a bang! Yes, folks — it’s the fabulous Queen of Everything, the corvid monarch herself today. She’s a fantastic artist, creator of the wonderful Raven & Wombat Tea Party merch (see our St Urho design!), co-conspirator of the Women’s League of Ale Drinkers, a printmaker, logo artiste,…
Moping and Missing Friends
The nor’easter puts the kibosh on plans for the party at Elena’s. I was so looking forward to seeing everybody tonight! I am now going to sulk and watch sad movies… once I finish grading. Bleh.
WLoADed: QoE
Drop over to the Women’s League of Ale Drinkers to see the latest profile: our very own fabulous Queen of Everything, Stephanie Johnson. She has been responsible for an amazing amount of arresting images! It really tickles me that vague notions of mine have emerged from her keen imagination as glorious logos that serve as…
Halloween, Poe & Pals
I was going to entitle this “John Crowley Owes Me $5″ but I only just met him this week and I’m not sure I can feel comfortable joshing about money with him; of course it does make for a funny story. My adventures for the weekend started with the kick off of the Poe Conference…
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…
Connecticut Jaunt
Despite the tight schedule I have this month, I decided to take the opportunity to run down to Connecticut and see my pals before I take off for Britain for a month on June 1. I headed out with the sun shining and the windows down while I blasted music through the lovely Berkshires. First…
