New new new:

Editor Sean Wallace has announced the table of contents for The Mammoth Book of Steampunk and "Icebreaker" is among the stories. I'm so pleased to be part of this collection!

Editors Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Paula Stiles have announced the table of contents for Candle in the Attic Window and Future Lovecraft. "The Snow Man" and "Myristica-fragrans" will appear in those respectively.

"Basil Hawthorne and the Cliff Tomb is available in Issue 51 of Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine. This is another piece which involves the pharaoh Hatshepsut--she does get around, doesn't she? Combining her with archaeology, comet disasters, and bumbling thieves only seemed right.

"If Only to Taste Her Again" is part of Historical Lovecraft from Innsmouth Free Press. Historical Lovecraft is available for your Kindle, Nook, and in hardcopy.

The novel: Agent queries are out and about. Fingers crossed, prayers said.

"Liminal" is up at Fantasy Magazine. This story is near and dear to me for a few reasons, but also because it ties into my travelling circus stories. "Vanishing Act" and "Ticket to Ride" also fall into this world, though each story stands on its own. "Liminal" received an Honorable Mention from Ellen Datlow in the Year's Best Horror (2010).

The Beastly Bride is on the final ballot for a Locus Award. You can find it at Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. It's also available in digital formats, if you don't want the shiny hardcover. My short story, "Island Lake," leads off this collection of stories about animal people.
