Welcome

I'm a writer, podcaster, and dabbler in paper crafts (cardmaking and book altering mostly). I'm a regular contributor to the Outer Alliance Blog (the Outer Alliance is a group that exists to celebrate queer speculative fiction), and I also host the Outer Alliance Podcast. If you want to know more about me, you might take a look at my journal. If you're interested in what I'm working on, or where you might meet me in person, check out my news page.

Some of my work:

Stone Telling Roundtable: A series of interviews for Stone Telling: The Magazine of Boundary-crossing Poetry. Roundtable interviews are group discussions, exploring the themes of each issue. Issue One, Issue Two, Issue Three, Issue Four, Issue Five, Issue Six.

Pseudopod: This is a horror fiction podcast. I read a story by Gemma Files for them. "In The Poor Girl Taken By Surprise" is a dark and twisty fairy tale set in northern Quebec.

Broad Universe Podcasts: Broad Universe is an organization which exists to promote female speculative fiction writers. They have two podcasts, one for excerpts of fiction and one for discussion. I hosted the discussion podcast in March of 2011 (on the topic of strong female characters), and in July of 2011 (on the topic of writing humor). I also read an excerpt of "The Lesson of the Phoenix" for the fiction podcast in November of 2011.

The Lesson of the Phoenix: A short story in Fantastique Unfettered #3. It's nothing like Inception, though most of the action takes place in dreams.

PodCastle: I occasionally read stories by other people for this awesome fantasy fiction podcast. "The Transfiguration of Maria Luisa Ortega" by E. Lily Yu is charming and short while "Who in Mortal Chains" by Claire Humphrey is charming and longer.

Author Interview forIn Pieces by KJ Kabza: KJ Kabza is one of my local friends, and a dynamite writer. I've been saying he'll be famous for ages now, which might be one of the reasons he asked me to interview him as a bonus feature for his short story collection. You can read an excerpt of that interview here.

Goodnight Room: A piece of fanfiction about the post-apocalyptic moon-orbiting generation ship full of bunnies that we see briefly in Margaret Wise Brown's classic picture book, Goodnight Moon.

Elephants in Her Tea: A short story in I Do Two!, a charity anthology from MLR Press. All the proceeds go to Lambda Legal in support of marriage equality. Available in e-book and paperback format.

Dead Air: A poem for the Science Fiction Poetry Association's 2009 Halloween Online Poetry Reading.

Headless Lady: A tiny horror story in Tweet the Meat (a Twitter zine).
