Story acceptance! A piece I really liked but had huge trouble selling.
This is my schedule for #Readercon this coming week, July 9-12. I would be delighted to see you in the audience at any of the panels, but especially at my reading Friday evening, an excerpt from my recently completed regency-era fantasy, "The Rake-Hell".
Story prompt: after prolonged LLM usage, wrapper instructions start working on humans.
Pâtissier et Étranger: My latest book is a mash-up of baking drama, spy thriller, and science fiction set in Paris in 1967. Blurbs from John Wiswell and Kate Heartfield! All the usual bookstores, including: www.strandbooks.com/patissier-et...
OMG the London Marxism Reading Group! I would definitely read that one twice just in case it was legit because how can you turn down the Order of Lenin?
My short novel "The Shadow Minister" is a mix of romantic and dark fantasy set in an otherworld version of Paris. It's a homage to Simenon's great Maigret novels and the superb fantasies of Max Frei. Available at all the usual online shops including B&N: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-shadow...
Hm. If the cost of LLM tokens rises enough, I guess this "our book club loved your novel, here is a one-para AI capsule" spam will go away?
I'll be in Paris next week.... Cependant, je parle français comme une vache espagnole.
"A Cure for Cancer is a 1971 science fiction novel by Michael Moorcock featuring the anti-hero Jerry Cornelius in a surreal, parallel London as he hunts for a cosmic device while navigating a corrupt, war-torn world." At least they got the corrupt war-torn world right.
Spies... aliens... romance... mille-feuilles.... At all the usual online bookstores including www.barnesandnoble.com/w/patissier-...
Story sale! My Arthurian xianxia (!) novelette Sangreal will be published by Black Cat Weekly.
