Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
At last, the moment you've all been waiting for! Here's my holiday gift to you, and I hope you enjoy! This post is going live for those still looking for last-minute gifts (like me), and there will be no post this Friday in honor of the holiday. Sorry for shaking things up on you folks,...

The new Star Wars is out this weekend, and by the time this post goes live I will hopefully be about to watch it. This is a cause for celebration, so your post is a teensy bit early this week so that I can recover Friday. I cannot tell you how excited I am. Rian... Continue Reading →
It is the end of the year. Jeez, that's intimidating. The end of the year. We've got not a lot of time to get caught up with our writing progress and start thinking about next year's goals. Also it's the time of year when the "Best of" lists are coming out, which means I need... Continue Reading →
Before Thanksgiving I mentioned the "queering beards" panel, which is not what it's called but how I keep referring to it in my head. It's got to be the internal rhymes. Anyway, above is the link to the post last week. Suffice to say for new readers, I went to World Fantasy Convention and got to... Continue Reading →
I took a brief hiatus last week to get caught up with my November writing goals, which sort of happened, and cook lots of delicious food, which definitely did! I'll be back in the world Friday as per the usual, but until then here are some pies. Enjoy!

Sorry, everyone I've communicated with verbally about this panel. My verbal communication powers are generally negligible.... Continue Reading →
What a panel, friends. I am not kidding. I was so honored to share space with my co-panelists, Gary K. Wolfe, Kathleen Jennings, and David D. Levine. They were very passionate about the subject, and came to the panel ready to drop some serious knowledge. I'm not going to get everything we talked about in... Continue Reading →
So, World Fantasy Convention. What a whirlwind. This year’s convention theme was Secret Histories, and I’m sorry to say I missed a good chunk of the programming because of my flight schedule. What I did manage to catch was, with one exception, amazing. My next few weeks of blogposts will recap some of my favorite... Continue Reading →
Hey friends! This weekend I am in San Antonio for World Fantasy Convention 2017. The theme is "Secret Histories" and I am moderating a panel all about cities as palimpsests! The panel is called "The Role of Cities in Fantasy Settings" and it will be tomorrow morning at 10 am if anyone is in town.... Continue Reading →
Happy Halloween (almost)! This post is about zombies, and it's uncomfortable, but I hope that you will read it and enjoy on this weekend where the veil between life and death is thin. It seems particularly apt to reflect on zombies on this weekend of all weekends. Enjoy! I was sitting in the memorial garden... Continue Reading →
