What better day to reveal the cover of my first short story collection than Friday the 13th? There is no better day! If there was, I would have done it that day instead of this day. Now stop asking silly questions. Sorry. Friday the 13th brings out the blood-lust in me. Sort of like full
The new year is here, which means new fiction for your bleeding eyes. I have to admit, I’m excited about this one. I’ve been waiting patiently for close to (over?) a year for this to finally come out, and now it’s here! My story “When Ayanna Kapoor Waits” is in the Fall 2011 issue of

The tension in the room is palpable. Well, not really. For one thing, I’m the only one here. For another, I just woke up an hour ago, and it takes me at least 3 hours before I’m able to function at normal levels of emotion. But still. Palpable. Because I like that word. This was
