A handful of my guest posts/interviews have been going up lately, so it’s time to do another link roundup.

I was really excited about writing about the Presger gun from Ann Leckie’s Ancillary trilogy for SF Signal’s Mind Meld about our favorite weapons:

Unfortunately, SF Signal closed up shop the next day, so seeing the piece published is definitely bittersweet now.

Coreena McBurnie interviewed me on her blog about Lost Angels and writing:

Margaret L. Carter interviewed me for her newsletter, which you can subscribe to here:  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/margaretlcartersnewsfromthecrypt  We talked about the Haunted Mansion Retreats, Dracula, Lost Angels, and naps.

Oh, and the paperback of Fright Mare: Women Write Horror arrived in the mail!

Upcoming stuff I’m excited about:

I sold an Alondra story to New Realm magazine. It should be published soon. The story is called “The Fatal Book.”  It was written for a Flint Area Writers’ reading at Borders Books in Flint, Michigan.

I’ll be reading at the Borderlands Books’ Sponsors Open Mic on May 20 at 7 pm.  The reading will be in the back of the Borderlands Cafe, 870 Valencia Street, San Francisco.

Shortly after that, I’m off to my first WisCon.  I’m participating in the Broad Universe reading on Saturday, and taking part in two panels.  One is about writing cross-genre fiction and the other is about death.

I have pitches under consideration for WorldCon, Convolution, and San Francisco’s LitCrawl, so fingers crossed that some of those work out.  I’ll be at all of them anyway, but it will be more fun if I can read.
