I’m in this month’s IGMS twice! My romantic wolf tale “Sweetheart Come,” and my narration of Leah Cypess‘s beautiful “The Cost of Wonder.” Some of you may have heard that June will be the last issue of IGMS.

Since then, I’ve been mulling over how to respond to these folks. Because according to some of my considerably more published friends,…

New reviews are up at Intergalactic Medicine Show! I’m off for the next two months while on book tour — in the meantime, my review column will be usurped by my dear friend and fellow Codexian Jamie Todd Rubin.
