Stories for Chip: A Tribute to Samuel R. Delany
edited by Nisi Shawl and Bill Campbell is out, and it's chock full
of interesting essays and stories, including my own “Guerrilla
Mural of a Siren's Song” that may not have had its freewheeling
style if not for Chip's influence.
It's
also the story that I later exploded – I went around saying I stuck a stick of dynamite up its ass and took notes about how it came
splattering down all over the place – into my first published
novel, Cortez on Jupiter,
that can now be purchased in ebook or trade paperback, produced by Digital Parchment Services.
And
yes, their edition of High Aztech is
coming soon, stay tuned for details!
TFFX,
the ten year anniversary anthology from The Future Fire,
is coming. I wrote what I thought was a commercial for it; they
called it a short story. “A Low Ride with Victor Theremin.” (I
sure wish the Victor Theremin story I'm working on would stop trying
to turn into a novel.) I also wrote a piece of flash fiction,
“Xiomara's Flying Circus,” that will be in the anthology, and they put it up on their blog.
“Xiomara's
Flying Circus” is a sequel taking place ten years after my story
“Pancho Villa's Flying Circus” that originally appeared in their
anthology We See a Different Frontier.
Soon
“Pancho Villa's Flying Circus” will be available in another
anthology, Lost Trails: Forgotten Tales of the Weird West -Volume 1, edited by Cynthia Ward. After all, I did write the story as a
spaghetti western.
Pancho
seems have become my Santa Muerte/Juan Malverde-style patron saint,
because Pancho Villa's Flying Circus will be the title of a
collection of my short fiction that will come out from Digital
Parchment Services in the near future.
And now
that I'm back in the saddle, I'll keep sending out updates as the
news comes in.
