First, I have an entry in Pseudopod's Flash Fiction Contest VII that - barring a last-minute upset - will very likely make it into the final round as of writing this. If you're interested in what made it to the final round, go check it out. Second, I'll not only be attending my very first WorldCon (DisCon III), but I'll be on two panels: December 16, 4:00 PM (Virtual) Reviewing: Widely or Deeply - (with A.C.

A short time ago, I asked anyone who had read my story, "This Is Not My Adventure" and enjoyed it to vote for it in Uncanny's Reader Favorites of 2019 poll. For all of you who did that, many thanks.

Hello, 2020

A new decade, the date of many an old-school futuristic setting (though the Cyberpunk 2020 game has since had the wisdom to update its year). The future is now, even though it doesn't feel much different than last year. In fact, it feels like the future is losing its shine, with what awaits us all if we don't do anything to mitigate climate change. I don't mean to be gloomy about the future, and I certainly shouldn't feel that way after returning from vacationing in Puerto Rico earlier this month, but that feeds into it. Puerto Rico was and continues to be colorful and vibrant, a place I'll never stop calling home. My partner was continually amazed at how everywhere--even at the bottom of a sewer grating--was a riot of growth, and watching her experience what I did for most of my life made me happy. We ended up driving to...
