Today I received $150 payment for my poem “Red Rising,” due to appear in the July/August 2018 issue of Fantasy & Science Fiction. F&SF remains my favorite place to submit my work: I like the magazine, its editor, that editor’s (usually) fast response times, and the generous payments for poetry.

My short-short Fantasy Nights appeared today in Daily Science Fiction, my second story to appear there this year ๐Ÿ™‚ Caution: by my tame standards, this is a comparatively adult-themed piece…. On the poetry front, my poem “The Holy Firmament of Venus” is in the new issue of Star*Line, my 31st poem to appear there!

My poem “Grasslands” has been accepted by Songs of Eretz Poetry Review. It’s a poem about visiting the National Aviary with my daughter, which, coincidentally, we did just a couple of days ago. When she was smaller, we used to go there often. Now it’s a rare, but sweet, event.

Analog has posted an interview that they conducted with me.

In addition, my poem Harold’s Samaritan has appeared in Songs of Eretz Poetry Review, accompanied by a beautiful watercolor by J. Artemus Gordon, now the art editor at Songs of Eretz.
