  1. Just had a flash fiction horror piece published online by Harbinger Press! https://www.harbinger.press/2019/08/in-the-trunk-by-patrick-hurley/ Content warning: A criminal does use a homophobic slur.
  2. Another story, 500-word flash fiction, published in New Myths last month. Title is "If You See Her" https://sites.google.com/a/newmyths.com/nmwebsite/flash_fiction/if-you-see-her-1
  3. I had a fantasy story "The Memory Bank and Trust" come out on Cosmic Roots & Eldritch Shores this week! It's a SFWA-qualifying pro market! They do pretty cool artwork for the story as well! https://cosmicrootsandeldritchshores.com/fiction-all/fantasy/the-memory-bank-and-trust/
  4. I've been on a bit of a hot streak the last week and had three stories come out within a week of each other, which is a bit crazy. (usually I get stories published about three months apart.) The first was "The Avenging Tree" (a pseudo-sequel to The Giving Tree) and was published by Stupefying Stories here. The second was a podcast of my dark Japanese fairytale "The Farmgirl and the Kitsune" and was released by The Overcast here. (This story was originally published by Abyss & Apex, but Overcast pays $50 for reprints!) Finally, the third is my story "Pop Magic" and is included in the Mad Scientist Journal's anthology Battling In All Her Finery, which collects twenty-one stories of women who rule, whether that be in the houses of government, on the battlefield, in the boardroom, on stage, or in space. I got interviewed about the story here and you can order the book here.
  5. So... uh, I applied, was accepted, and went to Taos Toolbox this June. Our teacher's were Walter Jon Williams and Nancy Kress. They're may have been a guest lecture by this fella named George RR Martin. I hear he's an up-and-comer. George's lecture (which he mentioned a bit in his blog) and dinner were awesome. Oh! And I had a story, "Exit Interview," come out in the May 2017 issue of Mike Reznick's Galaxy's Edge magazine! http://www.galaxysedge.com/linkx-archives.htm
  6. Hey board folks, It's been a pretty cool month for me. I had my story "The Two Out of Three Rule" included in Flame Tree Publishing's Murder Mayhem anthology. It was my second pro sale, and got me into Codex and a SFWA affiliate membership. The book is half up-and-coming writers and half classics (think Mark Twain, Lovecraft, Conan Doyle.) It's an absolutely beautiful book! And I get to say I'm in an anthology with Poe. And second, my story "The Farmgirl and the Kitsune" just got published in the Hugo-nominated Abyss & Apex magazine! It's my take on a Japanese folktale: pretty dark but a lot of fun. Also, the story is a subplot from my first novel Granters, which I'm just starting to shop with agents. Hoping that having a partial publishing credit will pique their curiosity!
  7. That was fun as hell! 9/10.
  8. Gave it an 8. Decent setup. Cheered when Brienne showed up. Curious about the Melisandre revelation. And also where Dany's plot goes. Biggest criticism for me was that I wanted more.
  9. RT @PSG_beckermayer: Congrats to @CNHolmberg on the potential movie deal for her fantastic #PaperMagician series! https://t.co/2NPt7NE6CO

  10. Marked as to-read: The City & the City by China Miéville https://t.co/HpoQFQtafN

  11. And the hits keep on coming! Excited to announce that I just had a story accepted in @Abyss_Apex magazine!!! https://t.co/EIqYPmMEqE

  12. RT @ADaniels3PO: No Bothans died to bring you this information: #StarWarsBattlefront #letsplaystarwars https://t.co/0FPWIV8uZ4 #ad https://…

  13. Now THIS is a commercial, ladies and gentlemen. Fun, simple, and easy to follow.

  14. @dwillscienceguy I've seen them try to drive in snow and it is terrifying!

  15. I'll be very curious to see what his relationship to Davos is like after this.
