Pleased to report that my short story "The Big So-So," originally published late last year in
Interzone, is
now out in audio on Escape Pod! This is a story very close to my heart, as discussed in the
story notes, and I'm happy to see it released to a wider audience (the text is also there if you prefer to read it). And if you like this story, there will be another one set in the same world out in the Kickstarter anthology
A Punk Rock Future sometime next year, as well as a novella that is currently in the early editing stage. Fight the entropy of a world gripped by drug-withdrawal-induced ennui with a maybe-magical garage band straight outta Pittsburgh.
Also, I'm teaching another round of my six-week "Science Fiction and Fantasy Writing" adult extension class at Portland Community College. It will run on Saturday mornings from January 26 through March 9, 2019 (with the week of February 23 skipped due to
Rainforest Writers Retreat -- put it on your calendar for 2020!), and will be back at the Southeast Campus. You can register
here, or email me at the link at the PCC site for more information.
See you in hell, 2018!
