It’s hard to believe, but my story “Halogen Sky” has been nominated for a Shirley Jackson Award for Best Short Fiction! It’s up against some amazing work, including a story I edited at Nightmare Magazine (“Dick Pig,” by the incredibly talented Ian Muneshwar). The Shirley Jackson Awards recognize fantasy and horror operating in the realm of the weird — my very favorite kind of fiction! — so I COULD NOT be happier about this nomination. I am also stunned, grateful, and overwhelmed!
Bittersweet feelings about this one—I’m delighted to finally have a short story podcast by J.S. Arquin’s Pacific NW-focused fiction podcast, The Overcast! But I’m sad, because it’s the very last episode of the show. J.S. has simply gotten too busy to continue the project.
Consider this fantasy tale, “Words of Power” (originally published in the anthology Shattered Shields, edited by Jennifer Brozek and Bryan Thomas Schmidt), a farewell story for the podcast.
