Moonshine sequel and overdue update

July 21, 2011 by alaya 1 Comment

This website has been woefully out-of-date. I hope to do more soon, but for now my bibliography page is up-to-date with my latest short stories and novels–INCLUDING the forthcoming sequel to Moonshine: Wicked City! See the cover below!

From new book covers

I’m also planning to actually use my mailing list for very infrequent updates as I get closer to publication. If you subscribe (email me asking to be on it), you’ll hear first about an ebook exclusive short story I will be writing about how Zephyr came to New York City.

Story up at Strange Horizons and new cover

My domestic high fantasy story all about bread baking, “The Yeast of Eire” is now up at the online magazine Strange Horizons. Here’s the first paragraph:

some short story sales

February 11, 2009 by alaya Leave a Comment

A few recent short story sales to report. “A Song to Greet the Sun,” set in the universe of a novel project I’ve been planning for the last several years, recently sold to Fantasy Magazine. Even better, the piece was also the fiction sample with which I won the Guilliver’s Travel research grant. In April, I’ll be traveling to Mexico to study pre-Columbian mesoamerican civilizations for said novel. I’m currently attempting to teach myself Spanish in preparation for the trip.

I’ve also sold “The Score,” a stitched-together patchwork of a story, to the second Interfictions anthology. I can’t tell you how excited I am to get to participate in this project. Whatever interstitial art is, I think I live in it.
