My alternate-reality-time-travel-romance “Counterclockwise” is now live over at Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show — just in time for Guy Fawkes Day! I’m also honored to be in the sixth anniversary issue. Happy anniversary, IGMS! Yes, I know it’s only an excerpt — just splurge for the subscription, folks. This is a really great magazine. I promise you, it’s…
Yes, you’ve read that right — as a Halloween promotion, Black Dog & Leventhal publishing has made one of the stories from the DEMONS anthology available for free — AND THAT STORY IS MINE!! *Mwahahahahahaha* “The Unicorn Hunter” is the one I’ve been gushing about — the one from the Enchanted universe. It’s the story I saw in my…
I’ve always heard this is a good sign. And look! Here’s Ariell, whose 66-word story here appears BEFORE MINE in the 66 Twisted Tales chapbook. I am a very proud Fairy Godmother. *beams* If you have a Kindle, you can get the book right here for only 99 cents!
That’s right! At midnight EST tonight, my dearest bosom companion Leanna Renee Hieber will be randomly drawing from the commenters on THIS BLOG POST to see who wins a copy of John Skipp’s DEMONS anthology, autographed by MOI! (I hear there are some other pretty decent authors in this anthology as well. Like this Neil Something.) All you have…
Maybe you missed it last year. Or you didn’t happen to love me then as much as you do now. Whatever the reason, IT’S OKAY. You can still purchase the special Shroud Halloween Issue guest edited by Kevin Lucia. This issue has my story “Red Lantern” in it, which is…not so much a retelling; more of an homage…to the…
Hooray! It’s time for the Waterworld Mermaids to officially invite you into our garden! As Waterworld Mermaids, we don’t normally find ourselves in a garden, unless it’s of the seaweed and coral variety; so, for our first online anthology of short stories, we decided to tie each tale together by location and an exotic one to us – a…
You know those stories that you have so much fun writing and submitting that you completely forget about them until a friend mentions that they’re available for sale? Well, that’s what happened here. Twisted Tales in 66 Words is a project that Kimberly Raiser came up with on Facebook a while back. She wanted to get 66 stories made…
But I still get to be part of this anthology! It includes the top four Intergalactic Medicine Show readers’ choice stories, some more award winners, and other favorites. I’m a favorite! And in seriously good company. AND I’M ON THE COVER. Table of Contents: “Trinity County, CA” by Peter S. Beagle First appeared in IGMS issue #18 “Sister Jasmine…
I am on the back cover AGAIN! Wheee! From Skipp’s intro to “The Unicorn Hunter”: After all this evil, I thought some beauty might be in order. So thank God for Alethea Kontis, who brought it and then some, in an old-fashioned mythical context with some new-fangled twists. This is a very easy story to love. And unless you’re…
I tell people I don’t read reviews. That’s not *totally* true. It is true that I don’t hunt them down–usually my editor will send me the important ones. I have Google Alerts out for things like “Alethea Kontis” and “AlphaOops” in case someone invokes my name and it’s appropriate for me to share a little love and thanks. Sometimes…
I’ve been a lot of things in my life,…
I’ve been waiting for over ten years to finally…
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve…
