My short story “Immunity” is eligible to be nominated for a Prix Aurora Award in the category of best short fiction in English.
The Prix Aurora Awards are Canada’s most prestigious awards for achievements in speculative fiction. You can read “Immunity” and then view the Prix Aurora Awards 2007 partial shortlist.
Nomination forms will be available at the Prix Aurora Awards website in March.
I’ve just sold my second story to Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine.
“Paid in Full” is a look at the relationship between humans and the insects that feed off of them. More details to follow.
My story, “Playing Games” (OnSpec, Winter 2005 / 2006) will soon be adapted for radio. On Spec magazine is currently working on a pilot project with David Chapman of Pied Piper Productions and Rattenfanger Radio, producing a series of radio dramas that will be available online. The first episodes will also be sent for consideration to several anthology broadcasts, including the Sonic Society in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Sound Affects in Minneapolis, Minnesota. If the initial project goes well there is hope that a regular series would be broadcast on CKUA Radio Network (approval pending) and would be available via podcast.
I will be attending the Rainforest Writers’ Village retreat sponsored by Fairwood Press‘s Patrick and Honna Swensen.
Guests include Barb & JC Hendee, authors of the Noble Dead Saga, and Jay Lake, a writer, editor, and publisher. Jay’s novels have been published by Fairwood Press, Mainspring, Night Shade Books & Tor, and he is the winner of the 2004 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, as well as a multiple nominee for the Hugo and World Fantasy Awards.
Other attendees include David D. Levine (winner of the Hugo and Writers Of The Future contest), Susan R. Matthews, Syne Mitchell, Eric Nylund, and Louise C. Marley.
I attended the Calgary launch party of Tesseracts Ten and read from my story “Angel of Death”. The readings will be featured on the University of Calgary’s radio station, CJSW in the spring of 2007.
