New Narration at Escape Pod – Tloque Nahuaque by Nelly Geraldine García-Rosas

This Mythos story, updated and modernized to include a deity of the Mexica Empire as one of Azathoth's masks and the study of the Higgs-Boson Particle as his vehicle for awakening was such a strange and unsettling story that also was a blast to narrate. Kudos to Silvia Moreno-Garcia for her translation work on this piece. The story was released today in Escape Pod #776. Give it a listen, and if you like what you heard, check out Nelly Geraldine García-Rosas other stories. ...

“As the Shore to the Tides, So Blood Calls to Blood” Included on 2020 Locus Recommended Reading List

I'm surprised and honored to have my novelette, "As the Shore to the Tides, So Blood Calls to Blood" included on Locus Magazine's yearly list alongside so many other brilliant authors. This was an unexpected honor, I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about what works loved in 2020, though I fear that I couldn't truly keep up with reading everything on the list. I also want to make sure I mention a few works not included in Locus Magazine's round-up. This list also signals the opening of Locus's 2021 Poll & Survey to the public. You can vote (or write in) your favorites to be considered for the Locus Award. Novels I recently finished reading The Blade Between by Sam J. Miller, and really enjoyed how he continued to add details to his own fantasy version of Hudson, NY by pitting old ghosts haunting the town against the new one:...

I’m Podside Official!

As of today, I'm excited to announce I'll be the third host for the Podside Picnic podcast. My discussions about Crap Books have been a blast to do, and I hope to bring that same level of fun to other areas of the podcast. I'd like to bring on current science fiction and fantasy authors who've written shorter works as guests, as well as other activities that are tangential to science fiction and fantasy. There's also a series of other exciting stuff we have planned and can't wait to share some of these projects with you when the time comes. Keep in mind that If you have a suggestion or something they feel we've missed that they'd like to see featured on Podside Picnic, the best way to let us know is by joining the Patreon, but otherwise, feel free to comment or contact me here. Until next time! ...

I've been going to Capclave since 2013, and it's one of my favorite conventions (especially since it focuses on short fiction). The following are the panels and events I'll be a part of: Saturday, 10:30 AM Reading - Readings A Channel: I'll be reading from "How Juan Bobo Got To los Nueba Yores" (that will feature in Speculative Fiction for Dreamers: A Latinx Anthology).
