There will be at least two more stories out from me this year, it looks like. Maybe three, possibly four. If the fourth happens, I count seven new stories in different venues for 2016, which for me is a pretty big haul.
One of those stories is available now in Molly Tanzer’s amazing new journal of thoughtful and well-plotted erotica, CONGRESS. You can check out the first issue here, containing my story “The Bicameral Twist.” It is pretty smutty and properly tawdry, but also, I am proud to say, definitively within the genre of hard science fiction (“The Bicameral Twist” is neuro-porno, not Beltway porno). With the rise of Chuck Tingle at the Hugos this year, I am preparing my acceptance speech for 2017.
In the fall, I’m pleased to say that my story “The Long Dream” will be among a very impressive list of contributors in Joe Pulver’s Cabinet-of-Dr.-Caligari tribute anthology The Madness of Dr. Caligari.
