Green/Over Sea Over Stone
Jun. 9th, 2011 01:53 pmA few quick self-pimping notes:
1) My short story, "Green," just went up at Bourbon Penn today. It's also available the Kindle and in hard copy form at Blurb.
This story was written a few years back, and although certain details allow me to date it pretty precisely, I don't remember much about writing it. Like many of my contemporary stories, it's set in a very precise place -- the apartment and other details mentioned actually exist, along with the South Florida rain. If I wrote it now I would probably remove a certain frequently repeated name.
2) I went with starting the reread of the Dark Is Rising series after all since I had to return most of them to the library. The post about Over Sea, Under Stone is up at Tor.com now, and is already generating some comments. I suspect we'll have more when I reach the fifth book, a book that I remembered being very unhappy with and which lived down to my expectations. (I did enjoy this one.)
3) And if for some reason you missed it last week, Trickster is up at Clarkesworld. And today, I actually met a random stranger at a coffee shop (ok, it's me; the coffee part wasn't that random) who had actually read Clarkesworld, if not this story, so I almost felt quasi-famous. This feeling was immediately dispersed when we realized we were not actually talking about the same zine at all and he had the name wrong. Quasi-fame, it is fleeting. Just like the real thing!
