please come to my party
So the writer-in-residence gig is now in full swing. There's a reception on February 3 and you are invited. Please see the invite below. Also, if anyone is interested in getting feedback on their work, or just coming and talking to me about writing, there is now a process in place for that. Details below.
And, while we're on the subject of good news in my writing life, my story "I Love Liver: A Romance" will be coming out in The Year's Best Science Fiction #11, edited by David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer in the US. Yip!
