My poem “Irene” has been accepted by Uppagus; it’s a poem about my husband’s grandmother (who was wonderful).

I am still catching up after World Fantasy Convention. A few highlights: breakfast with my agent, Lisa Rodgers; getting to tell L. E. Modesitt, Jr. how much I love his books; hearing Carol Berg read; being a last-minute addition to the late night poetry-slam panel; getting to meet people I’d only known via email, including Charlie Finlay, Adrian Simmons and Jenny Blackford; witnessing Gordon van Gelder’s troasting (half-toasting, half-roasting).

My canine science fiction poem “Exercise 2050” is in the new Fall 2017 issue of Star*Line. I’ve received my digital copy (as a SFPA member), but physical copies will take a little longer.

I am delighted to report my first acceptance from Daily Science Fiction, who have accepted a short fantasy piece titled “Dwarf Varieties” 🙂

My poem What He Told Me, about my father, has been published by Songs of Eretz Poetry Review.

Doubly-good news from Songs of Eretz Poetry Review: they accepted my poem “What He Told Me,” and published another poem of mine, Air Show Maneuvers.
