Some happy news!

I’m happy to share a few cool things with you before I go out to run some errands. (A writer’s life–so very glamorous.)

First, I’ve sold a couple poems to Mythic Delirium, “The Nagini’s Night Song” and “Star Fishing,” for publication in 2015. I’m super excited about this! I used to think I could never write poetry, and then . . . Don’t worry, I’ll definitely let you know when they’re out.

(Side note: Mike Allen is a great editor for helping you find just the right word for the image/feeling you’re trying to evoke. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.)

By the way, all the Mythic Delirium stories from 2014 are now free to read on the site, so go enjoy!

Secondly, I am delighted to announce I’ve sold a personal essay to The Toast! Yes, the same Toast full of insightful writing and Mallory Ortberg’s hilarious takedowns of things like Western art history and classic movies. My essay is titled “Thorns in My Throat” and will go live in spring 2015. Again, I’ll let you know when it’s out.

Finally, I just learned that Kaleidoscope, the anthology I have a story in (“Krishna Blue”), made NPR Books’ Best Science Fiction and Fantasy of 2014 list! NPR!!! Eee!

Thanks for celebrating with me!
