When it rains it pours, and this seems to be the season for lots of interviews, in this case spanning my novels RHYMER and RHYMER: HOODE (due out next summer), as well as short fiction, teaching, and (to borrow from Frank Zappa) green things in general.  -gf

Wired.com Interview plus “Babelzine 3”

  By alternate history, Book View Café, collection, fantasy, fantasy fiction, historical fiction, publishing, science fiction, short stories, story collection, Words

Sometimes when it rains it pours. As an example, today I wrapped up the revisions of the second RHYMER novel (yay me). And:

  1. An Interview I did with Wired.com’s Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy went live. The interview discusses Rhymer, but also a number of short stories contained in my first collection, recently reprinted in ebook format as The Girlfriends of Dorian Gray & Other Stories, at Book View Café.
  2. I received by mail a copy of Babelzine Vol. 3, a Japanese fantasy & science fiction magazine containing a translation of one of those stories, “Madonna of the Maquiladora.” (See below)

A nice way to start July.
