For the first time ever, I’ve been interviewed in Spanish about my writing.  I’ve done plenty of interviews before, but even in Argentina, they’ve always been in English-language media.  So anyone who prefers to learn about writers in the Spanish language (or simply wants to practice their Spanish) can have a look, here.

So, not the first sale of 2017, but it’s the fist one I can discuss while other contract details are being finalized.  Sold my story “Medical Discharge” to Inwood Indiana.  This will mark the second time my fiction has appeared there – and I’m particularly delighted that this story is going to get into reader’s hands.  It’s one of those that leaves you thinking.

Big shout out to one of the publisher’s who’s published my stories in the past: Lillicat Publishers has had a couple of top ten finishes in the Preditors and Editors poll this year.  Here’s their success in their own words:

Two of the Top Ten Finishers in the Preditors & Editors Poll 2016 are Lillicat Publishers in the Book Publishers category and Visions V: Milky Way (Lillicat Publishers 2016) in the Anthologies category.

Visions III: Inside the Kuiper Belt  (Lillicat Publishers 2016) came in at position 18.

I seem to have a page at the Fiction DB.  Despite a lot of work out there, I’m always still a bit surprised when my name and books appear on websites that aggregate writers (especially those that work outside the genres I am most prolific in).  But it is happening ever more frequently, and I’ve recently discovered my page on the Fiction DB, which you can see here.

I was this year’s Honorable Mention in the N3F short story contest (from past years, it seems that yes, there is only one Honorable Mention). So fourth place (not sure what the field size was, but as there was no entry fee and cash prizes, I assume it was numerous!) I’ll post complete results once they appear, of course!

Nice review of my ebook novella Branch by Sarah Wagner. This one is particularly satisfying because Sarah is the author of some amazing SF! You can see the review on Amazon here or on Goodreads.

The Sha’Daa series is a favorite of mine.  It’s a long-running shared-world antho series (currently, the sixth volume is in production) dealing with an apocalypse that takes place once every ten thousand years.  On that night, the forces of evil take on the forces of good for control of the world, and each story deals with it from a different point of view.

This review by Dan L. Hollifield on Aphelion takes a look at Pawns, the third installment in the series, and which includes my story “Blood Stone”.

You can read my story “Bane”, a sword & sorcery romp which I believe you’ll enjoy as an antidote to all that fiction with a message that everyone seems to write these days, for free on Aurora Wolf, right here.

So, last sale of 2016 was my story “Bane” which sold to Aurora Wolf. You’ll probably be able to see it up very, very soon!
