I'm in after all

Heard yesterday that my story "Greasepaint Teardrop" will be in Ultimate Gay Erotica 2008 after all. YAY!

Retro Near-Future Clown Porn?

I didn't make the cut for UGE 2008. :( But that's what I get for writing clown porn set in a retro near-future Weimar nightclub that doesn't have very much actual sex. But it's worth it, because I just got to write that description of my story. :) Maybe it'll find a home eventually. Big congrats to Rachel, Jeff, Ellen, Shane and all the other smutty smutsters who will be featured in UGE 2008.

Naughty. Not really very nice.

My story "Nog" will appear in Alison Tyler's Naughty or Nice: Christmas Erotica Stories. See, I do have some Christmas (or at least X-Mas) spirit!

Distant Horizons TOC

The DISTANT HORIZONS TOC from Lynne Jamneck's livejournal:

- Introduction (Greg Herren)
- The Mines (Max Reynolds)
- Runs in the Family (Bob Angell)
- Bel Canto (Caro Soles)
- Empty Noise Between the Stars (Joseph Baneth Allen)
- Negative Event at Wardell Station, Planet Arriga (L. Timmel Duchamp)
- The Musicmaker (Joel A. Nichols)
- The Visitor (Fiona Glass)
- Double Moon (Max Pierce)
- Bass City Blues (Lynne Jamneck)
- All the Wrong Places (Michael Wilde)
- Europa Siren Song (Jay Starre)
- Secrets of the Abandoned Monument (Felice Picano)

People are confused, though, because this doesn't seem to have all the stories. Steve Berman's is missing, Erastes's is missing. I think Jeff Funk's, is, too and Claude Lalumiere's...I'm pretty sure that I remember Greg Herren saying something about splitting the book into two volumes, though. So stay tuned.

New Sale & Audio Clips

Heard today that my story "Share Their Freedom" will appear in MEN ON THE EDGE from StarBOOKS Press. No word on release date or cover art yet. This story is dirtier than my normal...it's set in a forced mining camp near the (now militarized) Canadian border, and narrated by a mechanic who doesn't quite belong with the soldiers when there's a workers' uprising and two miners kidnap him.

Scary stuff.

Also the archive of my reading on Radio Volta from back in December has finally gone up. You can hear me read my Peter Altenberg story "The Grays of the Morning" here, about 20 minutes in or so.

Last Saturday I read in the Chapter and Verse series at the Chapterhouse. I tried out my pinball and magic story "Attack from Mars" that I sent to Jeff aka aerialscribe for TOUCHED. I think that a recording of it will be available soon, too.
