2017 Roundup Post
Time for the obligatory year end round up of Various Things I Published/Was Involved in During 2017, a year where we learned that if you don't write all that much in 2016, you won't publish all that much in 2017.
I know. Who would have thunk?
But it wasn't a completely empty year either, including, as it did:
Novella:
Probably the publication I was proudest of this year, an epic, novella length poem (yes, about 28,000 words), Through Immortal Shadows Singing, published by Papaveria Press.
Available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and multiple other outlets. The SFPA reviewed it here, and Goodreads readers chimed in here.
Short story:
You Will Never Know What Opens, in Lightspeed Magazine, December 2017. Hasn't been out long enough to garner that many responses, but Charles Payseur was kind enough to give a thoughtful review here.
Flash fiction:
Six flash fiction pieces, most, but not all, in Daily Science Fiction.
The Lion, in Daily Science Fiction, March 2017. A little fairy tale.
We Need to Talk About the Unicorn in Your Back Yard, Daily Science Fiction, April 2017. Almost certainly the hands down most popular short fiction piece from me this year. If you missed it, it's a short read. I promise.
The Witch in the Tower, Fireside, July 2017. A little fairy tale, one of my personal favorites of the year.
Stealing Tales, Daily Science Fiction, November 2017. Another little fairy tale.
"Gingerbread Smoke," in Typhon: A Monster Anthology Vol 2., by Pantheon Magazine. This was probably the hands down hardest piece of mine to find this year, bar none, but I promise: the anthology really truly is available through Amazon now, and is forthcoming from other outlets shortly.
Pipers Piping, Daily Science Fiction, December 2017. A little Christmas story.
Poetry:
The Study in Mithila Review: The Journal of International Science Fiction and Fantasy
The Stained Oak Leaves, in Umbel & Panicle.
Euryale at the Shore, in Polu Texni
Hunter, in Mythic Delirium.
Burning, in Wild Musette. (This one is literary/non-speculative.)
Related Work:
On Fairy Tales: A weekly essay series on Tor.com discussing fairy tales and various fairy tale inspired works.
The Pixar Rewatch. A sequel to the 2015-2016 Disney Read-watch, this monthly essay series explored the Pixar movies – discussing development and financial details, animation, other tidbits and of course, the films themselves.
The Secret of NIMH Another add-on to the Disney Read-watch, this essay appeared over at Uncanny, and focused on Don Bluth and his first animated picture.
And speaking of the Disney Read-watch, the very last post in that series – a wrap-up post – appeared in January 2017, making the entire series – technically – still eligible for the Best Related Work category.
Dramatic Presentation (short)
Deathlight, which originally appeared in Lightspeed back in 2016, was turned into an audio play this year by Fancy Pants Gangsters.
Onwards to 2018!
