This and That, Far and Wide


My Story The Nephelai's Song is up at SF Comet, but here's the catch. It is currently exclusively in Chinese! Every month SF Comet invites five authors to write a story to a specific theme. They are then posted and readers vote to pick their favorite. I was invited to write a story for June. The theme was "Echo from the Future."

You can see the story in Chinese here. But don't worry, if you don't happen to read Chinese the story will be posted on their English language web page later this summer.
  

I've also opined about a couple of excellent summer short reads over at SF Signal's Mind Meld. I picked Sleep Donation by Karen Russell and The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin. I am among several great writers, each of whom suggest short stand-alone novels. I'll definitely be adding some of these books to my beach bag.
