Simulacrum Is Out at Lightspeed

by

My story, “Simulacrum,” is out at Lightspeed.

  • read the story
  • listen to it performed by Gabrielle de Cuir and Stefan Rudnicki
  • read an interview of me by Christie Yant

And I’m working on a secret project involving this story. More details when I can announce them.

Annus Mirabilis

by

Just had my very first sale to John Joseph Adams. My story, “Simulacrum,” will appear in Lightspeed sometime next year. Lightspeed recently got a lot of great buzz due to Adam-Troy Castro’s incredible story, “Arvies”, and I’m really honored to have a chance to be published in the same market.

This has turned out to be a pretty incredible year for me. The greatest miracle, of course, is the birth of little Esther. And to think that in the same year, I managed to break into F&SF and Asimov’s, and got to meet Gordon Van Gelder, Ted Chiang and Paolo Bacigalupi.

If I’m dreaming, please don’t let me wake up.
