SHORT STORIES: A LOVE LETTER
I have an embarrassing admission to make. Several actually. The first is that until recently I generally thought short stories were dull and only good for English textbooks. I didn’t even realize that short story markets existed outside textbooks and if you’d asked me if I’d ever read an anthology I would have had to find a dictionary.

CYBERPUNK
A black swan can never be predicted, expected, or categorized. When the black swan assaults us, with the wingbeats of some rapist Jupiter, then we must rewrite history.
ROMANCE
The story of a resigned librarian who can see shades of silence and talks to portraits. A romance with a strong sense of fantastic.
HORROR
A horror story set in a futuristic society where people face an epidemic that’s not only infecting its food supply, but every living being in it, too.
THE STRING CITY MYSTERIES
"Girl in Pieces" (Nebula nominated) begins when a golem bursts into the office of our hero and deposits a girl on the carpet. Unfortunately, she’s in pieces. 11,395 of them to be precise.
The big question is – did the golem do it? The only way to find out for sure is get the girl back together again. But that could be trickier than you think. Especially if you don’t like spiders.
