Here are the stories I have published this year that are eligible for your consideration for the Hugo, Nebula, or Best Author on the East Side Who Doesn’t Have A Mustache, or whatever. (10 short stories and 6 poems. If that’s too much to read through, my favorite one was “This is an Optimistic Science Fiction Story About the Future.” )
Feast your eyes on this close approximation of accomplishment!
“The Eater of Dirt” in Reckoning 3 A goddess of decay gives her perspective on current events.
“The Seventh Street Matriarchy” in Crossed Genre’s Resist Fascism anthology. A social worker uncovers a secret organization in public housing. Will she join the residents or obey her boss’s order to evict them and see the projects destroyed?
“The Beauty You Cannot Buy” in Daily Science Fiction– in a future where cosmetic surgery is ubiquitous and extensive, where you can be made into a bird-man or an elf, how do you truly become beautiful?
“The Toymaker’s Daughters” in The Internet Is Where the Robots Live Now anthology. A clockwork barmaid is searching for her family and learns what that means.
“Learning to Fly” in the Terra! Tara! Terror! anthology (also in ebook) from Third Flatiron press. Based on a dream I had when I was quite young that haunted me… a young girl learns to fly on a sheet of poster paper by bending it into an airfoil on a windy day.
“Customer Review: Life of Jesamie Blake, 0-39” in Daily Science Fiction. What if you could experience recordings of someone else’s life? How would you rate them on Amazon?
“Infinite Boyfriends” in Broad Knowledge anthology in the “Women Up to No Good” anthology series. After Trina gets dumped, her best friend the mad scientist helps her by pulling alternate-universe versions of her boyfriend, some of whom, surely, are still in love with Trina. (Let me know if you would like a review copy.)
“This is an Optimistic Science Fiction Story About the Future” on Little Blue Marble. This one is exactly what it says on the tin. Even hairy-legged, overweight guys get to have jetpacks. On the Nebula recommended reading list!
“The Willing Body, the Reluctant Heart” in Analog – A world where plant-like Bodies co-exist with intelligent fish Hearts and Lungs and Brains and can join forces to improve their abilities. Our narrator Body seeks out a group of allies so they can unravel a mysterious visitation by aliens. (Not available online so let me know if you’d like me to mail you a review copy.)
“The Robots Karamazov” in Intergalactic Medicine Show. Called “Darkly hilarious” by Maria Haskins. So yeah, what if the brothers Karamazov were robots?
