Oddly, I haven’t seen too many reviews of EV 17/18, which is a sadness! But apparently Tangent Online did a review of the entire issue, including my story Enmity. Check it:
…a cerebral exploration of the creation story, spanning ancient Greek mythology, Christianity, and probably some other sources I haven’t picked up on too.
…Now, my knowledge [...]
Nick Mamatas is always trying to get me to start some shit so he sent over this link to Kathryn Cramer’s blog[1]. Normally I would ignore this crazy person, but I figure many others are going to comment on this or may already have, so I’ll throw in my 2 cents.
Cramer is apparently bored or [...]
Two years ago today I was listening to an NPR report about the anniversary ceremony that happens every year down at Ground Zero. It was very similar, though more polished, to the first such anniversary memorial which I listened to live on the radio. In 2002 I felt that everything was appropriate. The reading of [...]
No, this is not about online fights.
As many of you know, I have a story in the latest issue of the Hugo award-winning zine Electric Velocipede. The editor asked if he could put my story online in its entirety to tempt people into buying the whole issue. I said yes immediately because I heart having [...]
These two things have nothing to do with each other, I just happen to be posting about them at the same time.
1 — io9 reviewed Federations and Charlie Jane liked it quite a lot. She had nice things to say about my story specifically:
There are also a few delightfully snarky stories which deconstruct, and in [...]
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been made aware of several people saying things about my stories but haven’t had the time to mention it here due to some other stuff taking up my time. Heh. Anyway, here it all is in simple list form.
SFScope’s Mark L. Blackman attended the NYRSF Federations reading on [...]
It’s hard, sometimes, being a Torchwood fan. It’s hard loving a show that has such obvious flaws. That suffers so many episodes with a good or halfway decent premise to fall apart in the last 5 – 15 minutes. That suffers some more than occasional bouts of bad acting. That suffers Burn Gorman to be [...]
Charles Tan has a short review of SG6 wherein he mentions my story as one of his favorites:
“Elan Vital” by K. Tempest Bradford manages to cram a lot in this relatively short piece. While the science fiction aspects and ramifications might appeal to genre readers, what drew me to this story is how Bradford attaches [...]
I have a shelf on one of my bookcases where I put books and magazines my stories or non-fiction pieces appear. Recently this shelf grew a bit with the addition of stuff that debuted at WisCon. Though my shelf isn’t vast, I am prodigiously proud of it. Here’s a pic:
You can’t tell from the spines, [...]
At WisCon I was able to quietly sneak away with a copy of the latest Electric Velocipede (issue 17/18!). I was super excited to see it because my story Enmity is contained within. There are also stories by many friends of mine, including two other Altered Fluidians: Mercurio D. Rivera and Matthew Kressel.
I saw John [...]
So here’s my thing: RaceFail is… tiresome and anger-making and I’m just as much ready to be done with it as you are. Instead, let’s try for some RaceWin (yes, Sharyn, I’m looking at you). Today we’re going to celebrate the creative efforts of Fen of Color. Fen being the plural of fan (specifically fan [...]
Last year on Mother’s Day I posted about how all of my mothers are now gone. My own mother, Marjorie T. Bradford, passed away ten years ago (it doesn’t feel that long ago), my maternal grandmother, Anna Ree Tidmore, passed away just before my birthday last year, my fraternal grandmother, Genevieve Bell, passed away when [...]
Hot on the heels of the news that Federations is available for Kindle download, JJA informs us that the antho is now on Fictionwise, too. We don’t discriminate against any eReader ;)
The Federations anthology now has it’s own website. Exciting! There you can find interviews with all of the authors, read three free stories (one by my homegirl Genevieve Valentine), and subscribe to the feed so you’ll be up to date on all Federation-y news. Remember, you can pre-order the book now. The more people who [...]
My flash story, Elf Aware, is now up at PodCastle! Yay!
It’s quite short and worksafe. And has black people in it. Well, a black people.
Go listen!
You can call me Tempest.
I'm a writer, most often committing acts of Fantasy and Science Fiction, though I have been known to slip in and out of genres. I'm famous on the internet, an editor of some repute, and hopeless convention addict.
