Telling Tales: The Clarion West 30th Anniversary Anthology, including my story “I Hold My Father’s Paws,” will release on July 1 and is now available for pre-order for only $15 plus shipping. The anthology, edited by Ellen Datlow, has already received a starred review from Publishers Weekly. It also has a very spiffy cover, includes an embarrassingly complimentary introduction to my story by Geoff Ryman, and the proceeds benefit Clarion West. What’s not to love?

I’m also very pleased to announce that “The Tale of the Golden Eagle” will be appearing on the Escape Pod podcast in June. If all goes well, this will be the same recording (read by me) that will be in the Space Magic audiobook, which will be available for sale by the time the podcast airs. Very excited by this development.

Lowball, the next Wild Cards book, is finally complete and turned in and will likely be released in Summer 2014. This book introduces my character The Cartoonist in a story titled “Cry Wolf.”

Finally, if you’re in the Portland or Seattle area, don’t forget about the SFWA Pacific Northwest Reading Series, featuring Mary Robinette Kowal, Tina Connolly, and Nisi Shawl: today (Tuesday April 23) at the Wilde Rover in Kirkland, WA and tomorrow (Wednesday April 24) at the Kennedy School in Portland, OR.
