In a few hours the last of the Interfictions auctions will come to an end. Bidding closes on two around noon eastern time and then thereafter until around 7PM eastern. The last seven pieces are so beautiful and wonderful and amazing that I insist you bid! I’ve set a personal goal: I’d like to raise [...]
This is my non-short and non-silly post about the Interfictions auction. For those of you kind of new to my blog, I’m a member of the Interstitial Arts Foundation, an organization dedicated to promoting and encouraging art and artists that exist outside of or between borders. I’ve been a fairly active member for a while, [...]
In between the 10 million other things I have been and need to be doing, I spent a couple of hours last night updating The Raven’s Nest, my little portfolio/blog for jewelry and prayer beads. As I mentioned not too long ago, I want to start beading again to make a little extra money. Now [...]
This week I discovered that my workplace is raising my contribution to our health insurance to $50/paycheck. (Before it was $30.) I’m not too upset about that (whatever keeps my insurance from going away is fine, plus, they are paying a big chunk), but it does mean more of a crunch on my budget. I [...]
Dudes, don’t allow Ellen Kushner to buy up all the awesome necklaces based on my story! You know she’s collecting them for some nefarious purpose. Don’t be scared to outbid her. I’ll use my special rune casting skills to block any attempts at retaliation. You only have a few hours to derail her evil scheme!
Don’t make me be the one to buy it, because I love it. YOU need to buy it and give it to someone you love. You love me, don’t you??
Because I had to complete some jewelry then take pictures of it. Can I just say: taking pictures of jewelry is fucking hard! I need a better lightbox or something. Or maybe just some classes on how to get all the yellow out of images. Anyway, the fruits of all my labor: These are called [...]
Lots to do! Firstly, you should travel on over to the IAFAuction site and bid on some stuff. There’s plenty of stuff! Yesterday two new auctions went up, a jewelry set and a necklace. We only had one set sent to us for auction, and it’s really awesome. The earrings are worth the opening bid [...]
Why it’s a necklace based on my story. Woo! And it’s really, really beautiful. The artist is Deborah J. Brannon and, much to my surprise, she says it’s the first necklace she’s ever made. Way to come charging out of the gate there… Deborah is the author of one of the most beautiful reviews of [...]
Because I was so involved in setting it up yesterday, I neglected to post here about the auction of jewelry based on Interfictions stories. From the press release: Interstitial artists and admirers of Interfictions have come forward with some truly stunning pieces based on Interfictions stories by Matthew Cheney, Catherynne M. Valente, Jon Singer, Veronica [...]

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

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.
