news, news!

I am typing this one-handed as I hold a cute snuggly sleeping baby. Yes, folks, the new little guy is here and home from the hospital. He’s a big little fellow–2 pounds heavier than his sibs at their births–but cute as a, um, very cute button. I am very happy to have him here, but I expect things to be crazy and unsettled and sleep-deprived for a bit. My blog posts might be weird for a while, so bear with me, please!

In other exciting news, my short story Out of Shape is up in issue 13 of OG’s Speculative Fiction. That was a nice little postpartum gift. I would love to hear any comments you may have about it!

Celebrate

Today is LAUNCH DAY of my brand-spankin’-new website. This means that I have now put the URL in my email sig line, informed friends over at LJ and Facebook of this site’s existence, and put “World’s Greatest Writer Found Here” in my meta tags. Now I just need to get out of the way of the stampeding herd, right?

Kidding aside, I have a couple things to share with all you lovely people to celebrate my moving into my virtual home. First off, I put together an e-book of short stories for you to enjoy. Here Comes the Bride was my first published short story (way back in 2003) and I will always have a soft spot for it. The Most Beautiful Woman in the World, an experiment in present tense and fractured fairy tales, is making its public debut. I love feedback, so feel free to leave some.

Second, two of my stories were accepted for publication in rapid succession in June (pause for happy dancing). Details forthcoming as soon as I know them.

Thanks for stopping by!
