Fantastic Fiction at KGB
Massive thanks to Ellen Datlow and Matthew Kressell for inviting me to their virtual Fantastic Fiction at KGB.
It’s now on YouTube. I’d urge you to listen in as Justin C. Key is just brilliant. I’ve not read any of his work but I will be after last night. Read “The Perfection of Theresa Watkins” on Tor.com.
Justin was a hard act to follow. I read “Egg”, a story that first appeared in Paula Guran’s Once Upon A Time: New Fairy Tales and then All The Fabulous Beasts, my collection from Undertow Publications.
January’s guests are Lauren Beukes and Usman T. Malik
Speculative Parenthood – Octavia Butler’s “Bloodchild” and Priya Sharma’s “Egg”
Thanks to Mary Felice for reading my short story, “Egg”, and taking the time to reflect on it on her blog.
Mithila Review Issue 5 and 6: The “Asian SF” Special Issue
I am delighted to be included in the latest issue of Mithila Review, a speculative arts and culture magazine edited by Ajapa Sharma and Salik Shah. Follow the link to read the entire thing online for free.
“Mithila is a referent. It is a symbol. It can speak to the times when we have felt that we don’t quite belong. It can speak of the times when we have felt the urge to lurk away and disappear or the times we’ve felt the need to stay. It can speak to the time when we liberated our anger and pain in ways that have only fed the creative river within us. Mithila Review is space for our collective celebration and playful engagement with language. We hope that it can speak in all kinds of ways.”
— Ajapa Sharma, Editor
Issues 5 and 6 explore “Asian SF” and I was fortunate enough to be asked to take part in the round table discussion and haveone of my stories reprinted within- “Egg”, which appeared in “Once Upon a Time: New Fairy Tales” (edited by Paula Guran).

Once Upon a Time: New Fairy Tales
Once Upon a Time: New Fairy Tales, edited by Paula Guran and published by Prime Books is now out.
Eighteen extraordinary authors devise all-new fairy tales: imaginative reinterpretations of the familiar, evocative new myths, speculations beyond the traditional realm of “once upon a time.” Often dark, occasionally humorous, always enthralling, these entertaining stories find a certain Puss in a near-future New York, an empress bargaining with a dragon, a princess turned into a raven, a king’s dancing daughters with powerful secrets, great heroism, terrible villainy, sparks of mischief, and a great deal more. Brilliant dreams and dazzling nightmares with meaning for today and tomorrow…
