The podcast of “Titanium Mike Saves the Day” is now up at StarShipSofa (also available via iTunes).

“Charlie the Purple Giraffe” is now available as an audio presentation with music and sound effects at The Drabblecast (also available as an MP3 file and via iTunes).

I have been selected to write one of three new stories in a hardcover reissue of Wild Cards Volume One!

I’m now a member of the Wild Cards consortium! Also, I sold audio rights for “Charlie the Purple Giraffe Was Acting Strangely” to The Drabblecast, who did such an excellent performance of “Babel Probe”. I’ve also received my author copy of Nebula Awards Showcase 2009, which has a gorgeous cover and includes my Nebula nominee “Titanium Mike Saves the Day.” And I’ve received my preliminary program schedule for Wiscon.

I’ve been invited to participate in a Science Fiction Panel on Thursday, Apr 16 from 6 to 8 at the Mt. Hood Community College Library, part of National Library Week. Free and open to the public.

My story “Babel Probe” is now available as an EXCELLENT audio at Drabblecast (http://www.drabblecast.org). You can hear it here or download an MP3 file or download it from iTunes. FREE!

My story “Galactic Stress” has been reviewed at BestScienceFictionStories.com (“it was filled with totally cool ideas that gave me gadget envy!”). I also received galley proofs for my story “Aggro Radius” in Gamer Fantastic.

I have a short essay in the latest “Mind Meld” at SF Signal. This one’s about taboos in SF. Also, I will be giving a talk at the Library of Congress at noon on April 9, part of their “What If…” series.

My story “At the Twenty-Fifth Annual Meeting of Uncle Teco’s Homebrew Gravitics Club” has been posted on the Reno in 2011 Worldcon bid website.

My story “Galactic Stress” has been published in Diamonds in the Sky, an online anthology that is free for everyone to read; I have an essay in SF Signal’s latest Mind Meld, on the topic “what books and writers have influenced you and what influences do you hope to have on future writers;” Space Magic has been reviewed in the April issue of Realms of Fantasy (“Levine is a multitalented author whose fertile, wide-ranging imagination is — as his title implies — equally at home in the fields of fantasy and science fiction”); my story “Firewall” has been translated into Chinese, in the magazine “SF King”; the February issue of Realms of Fantasy was reviewed in Locus, where Rich Horton called my story “Joy is the Serious Business of Heaven” “a nice humorous story;” and I received payment for my story “Fair Play” from Circlet Press and galleys of my story “Midnight at the Center Court” from Witch Way to the Mall.
