Crossed Genres Publications has just released a new spec fiction anthology with a wonderful premise: stable, functional, ‘alternative’ families in science fiction and fantasy.

Back in this post, I blogged about Brass Stars, the debut science-fiction/western novella release from my friend A. G. Carpenter. I’ve also been privileged behind the scenes to watch some great new developments in her writing career. One of which I can now share: A. G.

Good news, everyone: I have found a skilled cover designer to do the text that I am obviously not qualified to go anywhere near. The designer and a pack of sharp-eyed folks in an online art forum found all the places I’ve messed up, and pointed them out. It’s called a critique, and it’s a…

I had an interesting criticism leveled at me over the holidays: someone told me I was representing myself as some sort of professional or expert at this mishmash of stuff I love.
