New Story & Viable Paradise XV

I'll post about Wiscon in a bit, but first, NEWS.

I have a short story called "With Breath Too Sweet" that's out in an anthology called "There was a Crooked House", put out by Pill Hill Press.

You can order the print anthology at Pill Hill Press for $14.49 or order the ebook for only $3.99 at Kindle or Nook.

Now, for the second bit of news. I'M GOING TO VIABLE PARADISE!

I've been selected along with 23 other SF writers to head over to Martha's Vineyard in October to be part of the 15th class of Viable Paradise. Our instructors will be Elizabeth Bear, Debra Doyle, Steven Gould, James D. Macdonald, Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden, Steven Brust and Sherwood Smith.

As you can tell, I've been sort of stalling on Willow, so I'm hoping the workshop will give me a swift kick in the pants to finish it. In fact, even sending in the application helped me out--I had to send in an outline for Willow, which I've never actually sat down and did (well, I did something like it Writer's Café, but not an actual document).

First step to all of this is figuring out logistics. I've gone from OH MY GOSH I MADE IT mode into holy crap I'm in how exactly am I going to pay for it mode. I'm tossing around some ideas, talking with some people. I'm thinking about doing a fundraiser, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to do so. And stay tuned to the Café over the next couple of weeks. Big things are afoot.

Last October, I was hanging out with Neil Gaiman. This October, I'll be in Martha's Vineyard. This is going to be great, folks. No. This is going to be awesome.
