My poem “To Skeptics,” first published in Fantasy & Science Fiction, has been nominated for this year’s Rhysling Award. 🙂 🙂

I am very happy to report that Asimov’s Science Fiction has accepted one of my poems, the fifth poem they’ve taken from me, and the second that is part of my How-To astronomy sequence. In other happy news, my poem How to Hide the Milky Way has appeared in Uppagus 🙂

My poem Jumble has just been published in Heroic Fantasy Quarterly, the first King Xau poem to be published in over a year (I stopped submitting them for a bit).

My poem “Without Worship” has been accepted by the venerable Space and Time magazine, who last published a poem of mine back in 2003!

I am very happy to report that my short story “The Boy Who Went to Mars” has been accepted by Analog 🙂

My poem “How to Decorate the Moon” is online in the new issue of Eye to the Telescope 🙂

A good morning! I’ve had a seventh story accepted by Daily Science Fiction, plus my poem “How to Forfeit the Future” has been accepted by NewMyths.com 🙂

Uppagus has accepted two more of my astronomy poems 🙂

It looks as though Heroic Fantasy Quarterly will be publishing three more poems from The Sign of the Dragon 🙂 🙂

I’m very happy that my poem “How to Tease Jupiter” has been accepted by Uppagus 🙂
