So—as you know, Bob—I belong to the Book View cafe, a truly rocking collective of writers offering free fiction and freelance fancies to the world. It's a really fun group of people, all professionals in their own right, and they do some really strange, really exciting stuff. Really!

Today, the results for my first Twitterfic contest were posted. Our theme was "fairy tale noir," and the entries were so stellar that I really wished we could have ten winners instead of two. Check out the results for a grin. They're really awesome.

As part of what we do over at the Book View Cafe, we all offer short fiction for free reading and enjoyment. My story for this week just went up. It's a fun short piece called "Indexing," and it introduces Henrietta Marchen and the Marchen Containment and Control Agency (MCCA). I really enjoyed this story, and this world. I think I'll probably wind up going back there a time or ten, just for fun.

As an interesting bit of trivia about "Indexing": this was my original concept for Ravens In the Library. I decided it was too frothy at the last minute, scrapped it, and wrote "Lost" instead. So it's a fairy tale flash from the files, and I hope that you enjoy it.
