“When the World Ends, Will You Be Covered in Grey Goo?” (io9.com)

If you’ve read Dagda Publishing’s science fiction short story anthology, “All Hail the New Flesh,” and enjoyed my nanotechnology horror tale, here’s a nice rundown on the perceived dangers of nanotech.

Gonna write a screenplay …

…  about a skinny, chain-smoking, garrulous poltergeist; gonna call it PARANOLAN ACTIVITY.

Somebody wrote a haiku for me!!

“Sexy writer man
“With a great sense of humor
“Why are you single?”

THAT is definitely a first!!  😀

I want that BOAT, Rick.

My great old friend and Mary Washington College alum Rick Slagle just posted this. 🙂

I’m grateful for his support for my book, but I am also jealous of that boat he’s on!! I don’t know where he is, but he’s far from New York’s incredibly unpleasant ice storm!

It’s a February midnight, and I am wide awake, discovering new poetry.

YES!!!

(Except I suspect my Mom always knew I was a hack …)

Stanley Anne Zane Latham’s “Listen”

I must be getting old …

One of the most beautifully talented poets I know, Stanley Anne Zane Latham, recently had a piece published at Dead Beats Literary Blog, and I missed it!

Enjoy “Listen.”

Let’s all root for Jason Sturner!

His horror/fantasy poem “Faerystruck Down” has been nominated for the prestigious annual Rhysling Award in the category of “Best Short Poem.”

In addition to being an obviously talented writer, Jason is an extremely nice guy who stops to offer publishing advice for newcomers like me.  He’s exactly the sort of colleague you want to see succeed.

medfield_3 This is a story that was inspired the Daily Prompt: Good Fences? writing prompt.  It took me a bit more than a day to write it, but it was a fun exercise.

Crunchy Girl Haiku: 

Great sense of humor,
But don’t call her “Crunchy Girl.”
She doesn’t like that.
