Publication: Life at the Lake’s Shore in FISH

At long last, the FISH anthology from Dagan Books is out!

Edited by Carrie Cuinn and KV Taylor, FISH is a collection of strange and wonderful stories of piscine nature.  My own story in this collection is “Life at the Lake’s Shore,” a magical realism retelling of the “Fisherman and the Fish” fairy tale set in Soviet Russia. The story was inspired by the Pushkin’s retelling of the fairy tale, and although it was written back in 2011, it remains one of the strongest short stories I’ve written to date. And if that doesn’t entice you, the TOC is full of stories by awesome people such as Ken Liu, Cat Rambo, Amanda Davis, and many, many more. I just got my contributor copy and can’t wait to start reading!

The e-book is available now, with a paperback copy soon to follow.

As a fledgling small publisher, I know all too well how much of a difference it makes to the publisher’s bottom line when readers choose to buy the e-book directly from the m. So don’t wait to pick it up on Amazon or elsewhere; support Dagan Books by purchasing a copy of MOBI or EPUB e-books from them!

 

 


Great Press for In Situ

November 20, 2012

 

I woke up this morning to find people on Twitter talking about not one, but two reviews for In Situ — an anthology of alien archaeology from Dagan Books edited by Carrie Cuinn. Both reviews were favorable, and both had some very nice things to say about my SF/humor story “The Field Trip” which closes out the book.

A Fantastical Librarian calls In Situ an interesting and thought-provoking anthology.”  The SF Signal review compliments In Situ on its “well-written, quick-paced stories.”  Both reviews are incredibly kind to “The Field Trip,” which made my morning.

In Situ eBook is only $3.99 on Amazon and the trade paperback is $9.99.
