Just two hours after I submitted them, Star*Line accepted my poems “How to Be Invisible” and “Unicorn Care” 🙂 They also rejected three other poems sent in the same batch, but I’m happy with a forty percent success rate!

My poem “Moon Swan,” first published in Star*Line, has been reprinted in Undead: A Poetry Anthology of Ghosts, Ghouls, and More.

My poem Relics of the Round Table has been published at Songs of Eretz Poetry Review, accompanied by another very nice illustration by J. Artemus Gordon.

I’m delighted to report that my fantasy short story “Keeping House” has been accepted by Daily Science Fiction, my third sale to them 🙂

Happy news from Star*Line: they accepted my poem “New Year’s Resolutions,” plus I have five poems in the summer issue, #41.3, forthcoming any day now 🙂

My poem Rosalind has been published at Songs of Eretz Poetry Review, once again accompanied by a very nice illustration by J. Artemus Gordon.

At the end of July, I’ll be at Confluence, the annual Pittsburgh SF/F/H conference, a lovely, friendly, reader-oriented gathering. This year’s Guest of Honor is Catherynne M. Valente. If you’re able to come, please find me and say hello…. Here’s my schedule.

Also, today I had a poem accepted by Songs of Eretz Poetry Review 🙂

My poem “Between Battles” has been accepted by Heroic Fantasy Quarterly, my sixth poem from The Sign of the Dragon to find a home there 🙂

My poem Advice from an Elephant has been published at Songs of Eretz Poetry Review, accompanied by a very nice illustration of an elephant, painted by J. Artemus Gordon.

I am very, very happy to report that my poem Advice to a Six-Year-Old, first published in Star*Line, has won the 2018 Rhysling Award in the short poem category, and that my poem Alternate Genders, first published in Mithila Review, came third in the long poem category 🙂 🙂 🙂
