...to the bottom of the river.

This is the shape of my 2014, with travel dates and everything. Beautiful travel dates. Hope to see you in the months to come! We are now solidly into 2015, as 2014 fades into fall and slides toward leaving. Which is terrifying in its own right, if you think about it.

Again, to clarify some recent confusion: some things, especially novel-length things, may appear more than once, on both the "publication date" and "being written" lists. This is because the "being written" list is an aggregate, which also includes "no fixed deadline" (IE, being written on spec or for the website) and "unsold" (IE, being written because I can). So new books will appear there for a long time before they vanish, since books take a long time to write, but may also have pub dates listed higher up.

Look at that list. It's so shiny!
September is apparently the month that keeps on giving, because I have not one but two new stories in anthologies that are available now!

Do you remember my story "Spores," from the anthology The End is Nigh? If you don't, you should totally pick it up. It's a book chock full of stories of the impending apocalypse, edited by my beloved John Joseph Adams and his new partner in crime, Hugh Howey, and I am super proud of it. But I'm even prouder of the sequel, "Fruiting Bodies," which appears in the new anthology The End is Now. The apocalypse has come, and everything is awful. Beautifully, wonderfully awful.

Seriously, though, this is a pair of beautifully curated anthologies, full of authors who are having a fantastic time bringing the world to a crashing halt. There's one more to come, documenting the aftermath of the apocalypse, and the way to get ready for its glorious awfulness is to read what came before. Starting now.

Keeping up with the non-mammalian theme, I present "Lady Antheia's Guide to Horticultural Warfare," my story of steampunk, aliens, and the importance of manners. It appears in the anthology Clockwork Universe: Steampunk vs. Aliens, and I absolutely adore it. I am so, so happy that it's finally available for you to read and enjoy. Lady Antheia is one of my favorite point of view characters, and she was ridiculously fun to write. I hope you'll have just as much fun reading about her.

Two anthologies! Two fun disasters! Pick up one or both, and feel free to let me know what you think!
