Kaslo Chronicles episode in Lightspeed
"A Face of Black Iron," the penultimate episode in the serialized novel, The Kaslo Chronicles, is available if you buy the new issue of Lightspeed Magazine. Or you can wait a week and it will be readable for free. There's also an interview with me about how the story has developed.
Tomorrow sees the release of Old Venus , the latest theme anthology from George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois. This one is about the Venus that sf authors used to imagine might exist on our sister planet, before technology told us the truth. My story, "Greeves and the Evening Star," is a pastiche of Jeeves and Bertie. A clue: it has newts in it.

Old Venus wins Locus Award
I've only just found out that Old Venus, the retro-theme anthology I was part of, has won the Locus Award for best anthology of 2015. It's predecessor, Old Mars, also won the Locus Award for 2014. Congratulations to editors George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois and to all the contributors.
My story was "Greeves and the Evening Star," in which I attempted a Jeeves and Wooster romp, with the names changed. It probably has no reprint possibilities, so perhaps I'll put it up for a free read.
Speaking of reprints, a neat little short-short story of mine (750 words) "The Hat Thing," is reprinted in Polar Borealis , an on-line magazine of Canadian sf written by pros and emerging authors. The zine is a non-profit labor of love put together by Canadian megafan Richard Graeme Cameron, with GoFundMe funding that lets him pay the contributors.
If you want a good smattering of Canadian sff, for a free read, PB is well worth a look.
