Welcome

I'm a writer, podcaster, and dabbler in paper crafts (cardmaking and book altering mostly). I'm a regular contributor to the Outer Alliance Blog (the Outer Alliance is a group that exists to celebrate queer speculative fiction), and I also host the Outer Alliance Podcast. If you want to know more about me, you might take a look at my journal. If you're interested in what I'm working on, or where you might meet me in person, check out my news page.

Some of my work:

Broad Universe Podcasts: Broad Universe is an organization which exists to promote female speculative fiction writers. They have two podcasts, one for excerpts of fiction and one for discussion.
   *I hosted the discussion podcast in March of 2011 (on the topic of strong
   female characters), and in July of 2011 (on the topic of writing humor).
   *I read an excerpt of "The Lesson of the Phoenix" for the fiction podcast in
   November of 2011.
   *I was a guest on the March 2012 Broadly Speaking podcast (a tutorial
   discussion about about how to create and record podcasts).
   *I hosted the April 2012 Broadly Speaking Podcast (on the topic of
   changelings and transformation).

Stone Telling Roundtable: A series of interviews for Stone Telling: The Magazine of Boundary-crossing Poetry. Roundtable interviews are group discussions, exploring the themes of each issue. Issue One, Issue Two, Issue Three, Issue Four, Issue Five, Issue Six, Issue Seven.

Cinderella Jump Rope Rhymes: A beautifully illustrated poetry chapbook full of subversive takes on the old "Cinderella dressed in yella" rhyme. Poems by Erik Amundsen, Nadia Bulkin, Kyle Davis, Francesca Forrest, Samantha Henderson, Rose Lemberg, me, and Sonya Taaffe. Illustrations by Adam Oehlers. Some proceeds from each sale will go to help animals!

Reaching into the QUILTBAG: the Evolving World of Queer Speculative Fiction: An article about QUILTBAG spec fic in issue 34 of Apex Magazine.

Curse Breaking: A poem in Volume 4, Number 1 of Midnight Screaming.

Galactic Suburbia Award Honours List for 2011: Galactic Suburbia is an Australian feminist speculative fiction discussion podcast. I've been a fan for quite some time, and am enormously pleased to find myself on their Honours List along with Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond for episode #11 of the Outer Alliance Podcast. My official OA blog writeup of the awards list is here.

Pseudopod: This is a horror fiction podcast. I read a story by Gemma Files for them. "In The Poor Girl Taken By Surprise" is a dark and twisty fairy tale set in northern Quebec.

The Lesson of the Phoenix: A short story in Fantastique Unfettered #3. It's nothing like Inception, though most of the action takes place in dreams.

PodCastle: I occasionally read stories by other people for this awesome fantasy fiction podcast. "The Transfiguration of Maria Luisa Ortega" by E. Lily Yu is charming and short while "Who in Mortal Chains" by Claire Humphrey is charming and longer.

Author Interview forIn Pieces by KJ Kabza: KJ Kabza is one of my local friends, and a dynamite writer. I've been saying he'll be famous for ages now, which might be one of the reasons he asked me to interview him as a bonus feature for his short story collection. You can read an excerpt of that interview here.
