Welcome to my LiveJournal. I'm a science fiction writer with a growing collection of published short stories, and my collection Unwelcome Bodies is currently available from Apex Publications. It includes, among other stories, "Captive Girl," which was a 2007 Nebula finalist and which made the 2007 Gaylactic Spectrum Awards short list. I started this journal to have a place to talk about writing and the writing life, although you'll probably notice various digressions into belly dance and politics.

1) Did you know that Apex now has a message board?

There, now you know.

2) The Apex Author Lottery is still on.

For a small amount of money you could win a shitload of books, including mine.

Support a small press! Take that check that Aunt Mabel gave you for Christmas/Hannukah/Solstice/Festivus and buy an Apex book:

You get free shipping if you spend $25 or more. You'll not only get cool stuff to read, but you'll also help the publisher climb out of a nasty financial hole, described here:

And it'll help them pay out their January 1 royalty checks (*cough*).
