Chicks Unravel Time comes out in just a few days! Eee! I’m very excited. This book is bound to be really special. I’ve already had a sneak peek at a couple of the essays and I will predict that Doctor Who lovers will enjoy every page. Some related events surrounding that. First, to get the [...]
Next month I have the pleasure of reading alongside Ibi Zoboi at the Kindred Reading Series. September’s reading will take place at Bluestockings Books in New York City and it starts at 7PM. I will likely read my story from Dark Faith: Invocations and maybe a teaser from “Uncertainty Principle”, my story in Diverse Energies. [...]
WisCon 36 is almost upon us. Here’s where I’ll be! Parties Riots of Bloom | Sat, 9:00 pm Room 607 I’m the DJ. Join us for spicy samosas and wine as we dance the night away to world beats! Riots of Bloom is a party to celebrate the speculative fiction of authors of color who [...]
Scott Edelman has been recording readings and such from World Fantasy in order to make everyone who isn’t here intensely jealous. He came to my reading and recorded it, and now it’s on YouTube for all to see. I had a good sized crowd and people said they really loved the story, so I declare [...]
I say “schedule” as if I’m going to be doing a ton of stuff. Indeed, that is not the case this year, which means I can relax and enjoy myself. The one thing I do have scheduled is a reading. 10:30 Friday morning in Reading 212. I know it’s a bit early, but I do [...]
Last year when I was a guest on Hour of the Wolf I read my 9/11-inspired story Until Forgiveness Comes on the air. Jim Freund liked it so much and liked the radio-y/NPR-esque-ness that he suggested we should record it as a radio play. I am all for that, so I wrote a script and [...]
I have less than a week to go before WisCon, hooray! Thinking of that made me realize that I haven’t posted my panel schedule here. It’s light this year and thus I will likely be a lot saner. But I am contemplating doing a panel in the overflow room. We’ll see. Meantime, here you go: [...]
I know, I KNOW. I am horrendously late informing you of this event. I cannot explain myself except to say that I have been horrendously busy and thought I’d done at least some of this promotion before now. I suck. But you’re not doing anything important on Friday night, so please come: The Chicks Dig [...]
Our reading tonight was listed in this week’s Time Out New York, both in print and online. Nora and I are “and others”, ha! I’m just glad they listed it. And in the print version we are right next to the review of Bayou, so I think the layout person may have been paying some [...]
A gentle reminder that the Diaspora of the Fantastic reading is this Thursday. I’ll be reading alongside N. K. Jemisin, Alaya Dawn Johnson and Linda D. Addison at Bluestockings. Details here. I am going to read from my Electric Velocipede story, Enmity, because I’m not sure if I’ll ever get the chance to read it [...]
My full Readercon schedule can be found here. I don’t know that I will actually be reading at the Interfictions 2 reading… or maybe we’re doing the thing where we each read for 2 minutes. I now have something to do on each day. When I’m not on a panel or attending one I’ll probably [...]
I’ll be attending Readercon in a couple of weekends and this time I’m on a bit of programming. If you’d like to find/stalk me, here’s the deets: Friday, 3PM — VT: Interfictions 2 Group Reading Delia Sherman (host) with Amelia Beamer, K. Tempest Bradford, Matthew Cheney, F. Brett Cox, Michael DeLuca, Jeffrey Ford, Theodora Goss, [...]
Continuing in the tradition of wild unicorn-ness, I’m doing a reading and discussion in NYC at Bluestockings bookstore with Linda Addision, N. K. Jemisin, and Alaya Dawn Johnson all about POC and SFF. In case you’re not aware, all of us are some fabulous black women who write spec fic. The reading will last an [...]
Exciting news! We’re doing a Federations reading next month! It’ll be a special NYRSF reading — slightly outside of their usual season. Jim Freund likes us like that. I’m reading along with Genevieve Valentine and Allen Steele (I know! So Fancy.) and our editor, John Joseph Adams, is curating. Here are some more deets: When: [...]
So since I have several stories coming out this year, I think I should get to do a reading at WisCon. Hopefully others will agree. Who wants to do a reading with me? We’d have to come up with a theme of some sort. Let’s see, I have a mythic story coming up based on [...]
Tumblr – Come see the inside of my fandom brain
Twitter – Intermittent rambling, links, and what I just ate
Facebook – A nexus of me, yet strangely impersonal
Google+ – Another nexus of me for Google Geeks
Delicious – A wild collection of links, mostly of fiction
GoodReads – The books I’m reading and the ones I’m in
Flickr - Photographic evidence of a few of my exploits
LiveJournal – A mirror of this blog, nothing more
I'm a writer, most often committing acts of genre (fantasy, science fiction, and other stretches of the imagination). You can find my short stories in many and various magazines and anthologies and podcasts. In addition to being a writer I also engage in activism and fandom -- often both at once.
