I will be reading “Charlie the Purple Giraffe” at Ephemerata Speculata, a live event in Portland, on July 17.

My story “Tides of the Heart” was published in the June 2011 Realms of Fantasy! You can buy it in PDF or paper. My story “Pupa” came in second for Best Novelette in the 2010 Analog readers’ poll! The May issue of Locus includes an interview with me! You can read some excerpts online. Reviews roundup: The Mars Diaries, “Powers”, “Powers”, “Citizen-Astronaut”, and “Tides of the Heart”. The latest Outer Alliance podcast includes an interview with me. You can preorder the long-awaited anthology End of an Aeon from Fairwood Press. Finally, my story “Zauberschrift” has been accepted at the podcast PodCastle. Whew! I’ll try to update more frequently.

You can hear me in a panel discussion about YA science fiction in this month’s Salon Futura podcast.

I will be presenting my Mars talk at the April 9 meeting of the Portland Science Fiction Society, free and open to the public. See this blog post for details.

My story “Trust” is now available for everyone to read at Daily Science Fiction. I also received my contributor’s copies of the June 2011 Analog, including my novelette “Citizen-Astronaut,” and the galleys of my Locus interview, which should be published in the May issue. (SQUEE!) And, last but not least, I finished the first draft of my YA SF novel The Loneliest Girl on Mars. It goes on the shelf for a few weeks before I begin revisions.

My story “Trust” has been sent to subscribers of Daily Science Fiction; it will appear on the website in a week.

You can now hear an interview with me (14MB MP3 file) on the podcast Dialogue: Between the Lines.

My story “A Passion for Art” has been podcast at StarShipSofa, and my novelette “Pupa” has been included on the Tangent Online Recommended Reading List for 2010 with three stars!

“Written on the Wind”, my fourth published story, has been given a fine audio version, read by Mur Lafferty, at Escape Pod. You can also read the full text of the story at the Escape Pod website, and there’s a lively discussion of the story on the podcast’s message board. Also, I recently learned that the Italian translation of Wild Cards 1 is of the new edition, so it does include my story “Powers”.

My story “Pupa” from the October 2010 Analog made the Locus Recommended Reading List!
