My story “In the Water” will appear in issue #6 of Fictitious Force. And $16 for four issues is a steal, IMHO. You should totally go out and subscribe now! I don’t know when there’ll be an individual issue link, or when the table of contents...

In lieu of actual other content, I bring you a bit of the hurricane story: “Do your best to keep the network up,” Mr. Libby said. “Banking is depending on you. And the rest of our city contracts, of course, but banking is more important than...

Jen has a “post the first line of five works in progress” meme. What the hell, I’ll play, although I don’t really have five things in progress at the moment. I’ll include recent stuff. The Wasicu towers still exist, rising up out of the...
