Free Story Online, and a New Podcast to Download

My most recent publication,“Call Center Blues,” is now available to read, free, online at Daily Science Fiction. It’s short, fun, science fiction. And did I mention there are robots in it?

Also, this week’s SF Signal podcast is up, and you can hear it now:

SF Signal #90, Time Travel, with me, John DeNardo, Derek Johnson, Gail Carringer, Paul Weimer and Patrick Hester.

Podcast: Reading “Monsters, Monsters, Everywhere”

If you read my most recent publication over at Crossed Genres magazine (link goes to story), and wondered how it would sound if I read it aloud, or if you’re looking for a 20 minute distraction from your daily commute, I’ve recorded a quick version of “Monsters, Monsters, Everywhere” in .mp3. Listen to it now or download it for later, and please feel free to leave comments.

Thanks to the editors at Crossed Genres for letting me post this here.

A Story and Two Podcasts (online now)

Right now you can find me in a few different places:

Monsters, Monsters, Everywhere” is now available to read (free!) online at Crossed Genres in Issue #34 (MONSTERS), out October 1, 2011.

And SF Signal has graciously let me take part in their last two podcasts:

SF Signal #82, Science Fiction Movies, with Lisa Paitz Spindler, Scott Cupp, Derek Johnson, Jessica Strider, and Patrick Hester.  (posted Oct 3, 2011)

SF Signal #80, Near-Future Science Fiction, with Jeff Patterson, Fred Kiesche, John Stevens and Patrick Hester (posted Sep 26, 2011)

I won’t be on the SF Signal podcasts every week but I should be in one or two a month for the foreseeable future, and thanks for listening!

Wonder what I sound like?

Now’s your chance to find out. Recently I was interviewed about Cthulhurotica, along with author Don Pizarro (who also has a story in that collection) for the Functional Nerds Podcast, and while I talked too fast and the sound quality – only on my end – wasn’t great, it is a chance to hear me and the others talk about the book, the Mythos, why Lovecraft was a great writer but a poor choice in party guests, and much more. Functional Nerds is Patrick Hester & John Anealio, and if you’re not following their interviews, you’re missing out on conversation and insights from some of science fiction and writing’s greats, along with can’t-miss new talent.
