If you will be at World Fantasy Convention next week, please come and say hello. I’ll be on two panels: “A Golden Age of Contemporary Asian Fantasy” and “How Does Who We Are Affect What We Read?” In addition, I will probably participate in Thursday night’s poetry open mic.

In other news, my poem Arrow, part of the King Xau epic, is online at Songs of Eretz Poetry Review.

My poem “Eligible” (a King Xau poem) has been accepted by Ship of Fools 🙂

My short poem “Messengers” is online at Grievous Angel, my first appearance there 🙂

Also, my poem “At the Sign of the Dragon” is online in Uppagus, my eleventh appearance there. “At the Sign of the Dragon” is a poem about the lovely bookshop that I frequented when I was growing up, the bookshop after which I named The Sign of the Dragon.

My poem Keng is in the debut issue of Ligature Works, a new online venue founded by Alexandra Erin 🙂 “Keng” is a poem from the perspective of Xau’s eldest son. It takes place directly after my poem Inheritance from Heroic Fantasy Quarterly.

I am entirely delighted to report that Crowned just won the 2016 Elgin Award 🙂 🙂 🙂

My poem Rachel has been published at Songs of Eretz Poetry Review. It is not a poem about dragons, or demons, or King Xau, but rather about one of my childhood friends.

My poem “Judgment” has been accepted by Songs of Eretz Poetry Review 🙂 “Judgment” is a poem about King Xau and his second queen, Hana.
