I haven't sent one of these newsletters out in quite a long time, and since I have some new subscribers, and since one or two things have happened, I figured I might as well send something out.

As far as recent publications, my two latest stories were published in Aoife's Kiss and Tales of the Talisman. Both are available from The Genre Mall at http://www.genremall.com/zines.htm. You're looking for the Aoife's Kiss cover with the Dryad and the Tales of the Talisman with the space squids. My name is listed in both descrptions as well, so they shouldn't be hard to find...so order a copy for yourself and one or two for your friends as well.

I recently did a reading at Who Else Books in Denver. It was a small turn out, but it's a small bookstore, so we weren't really expecting huge crowds. It was a good time overall...a bit intoxicating having that kind of control over an audience.

I've been confirmed as a participant at MileHiCon this year. I won't know what panels I'm doing for a while, but I'm really looking forward to this one. For details on the con, go to http://www.milehicon.org.

Finally, and obviously my biggest news, I am leaving Subway! That sounds better every time I say it. I've lined up some freelance editing work, so I've decided to take a huge gamble and try to turn this into a career. Basically, I decided that I was in a position to try it, and I didn't want to look back on my life when I'm old and wish that I'd taken the chance. It's a huge gamble, and who knows if it will pay off, but I will make an effort of it.

Thanks for reading.
