It’s been a crazy couple of weeks / months, jumping countries and continents, and including death, sickness, and birthday. Anyway, with all of that, I never got around to reporting the recent story sales and publication news.

- “To Act the Witch” to Tales of Moreauvia

- “Troy and the Aliens” to Abyss & Apex. It’s scheduled to come out in the fourth quarter.

- “Ghosts of Dead Ideas” to the newish mag Renard’s Menagerie - my zombie unicorn in space story.

In other news, my piece “The Parrots of Bad Cannstatt” is now up at IROSF. It’s a condensed version of the talk I gave at Italcon in Fiuggi in March.
