Electric Ladyland

My latest story, "Electric Ladyland," is in StarShipSofa Stories, Vol. 3, out today! You can buy copies in multiple formats here: http://www.starshipsofa.com/stories-volume-3/buy-the-book/

Electric Ladyland happened when I thought, "What would happen if I brought the style of The Fiction Crawler and Beware the Hairy Mango to a seriousish science fiction story?" If you like those, you'll like this. For those of you scoring at home, Electric Ladyland is story number 129 of The One-Thousand.

If you don't like this, you still get lots of great stories by people like Haldeman, Swanwick, Brin, Castro, Valente and more as consolation. I've seen the book, it's full of great stuff!

Electric Ladyland

I'm very pleased to announce that my never before published story, Electric Ladyland, will be in StarShipSofa Stories, Volume 3 coming out later this year. If you've seen previous volumes in the series, you know that they're full of fantastic stories from great writers and sales of the books help support the Hugo-winning StarShipSofa podcast. I'll let you know when it's available.

Electric Ladyland is number 129 of The One-Thousand. Without giving anything in the story away I can tell you it's crazy fun. I took five wildly unrelated ideas and squished them into a science fiction story of a few thousand words. Then I twisted the narrator's voice into the type you find in my Fiction Crawler segments and Beware the Hairy Mango podcast. If you're reading this, you'll dig it.

Sale To Nature!

I sold my story, Steve Sepp, Tasty! Tasty! (story 128) to Nature! "Wait," you say, "Isn't that a science journal (Maybe the science journal)?" It is, but they leave a little room in the back for a flash-fiction piece. They've also published Arthur C. Clarke, Bruce Sterling and currently, my Twitter pal, Polenth Blake. As Bart Simpson might say, "I am so juzzed!"

I've got a sneaking suspicion that this qualifies as my third pro-sale as far as SFWA is concerned. If so, we may be hooking up soon.

As a bit of icing, I sent off 129 last week.
