This is from Glen Hiemstra of Futurist.com: Mayan December is an exciting tale of the ancient Mayans and the end of the Mayan calendar in the near future, as seen through the eyes of a time-traveling youngster named Nixie. What begins as an interesting trip to Chichen Itza for the December 2012 equinox becomes a …
Louise Marley is a good friend and we sometimes share bits of writing with each other. So I saw Mozart’s Blood born a few years ago. I hadn’t read it all the way through, or even seen the last half at all. My theme for recovery has been “read the things you want to read” …

Writing is a strange profession. There are long dry spells when everything is in the mail and nothing is resolved or finished. And then there are gift days. Today, I got three gifts from afar…. A copy of Mallorn, the Journal of the Tolkien Society, with a story of mine in it. Now how cool …
My story, Mayan Summer, just went up in the online magazine Khimairal Ink. It’s a lovely literary, feminist magazine that I like a lot, so I was pleased they took this story. The Yucatan Penninsula is a fabulous place where it’s easy to imagine magic coming alive. This is a seed story for my novel …
I have a short work coming out in Mallorn, which is the newlstter for the Tolkien society. The story started as an exercise in a workshop I took at Hugo House in Seattle (with Charles deLint), and only changed a little before I sent it off to Henry Gee, who is the new editor for …
