Peter and I are collaborating on an album of music and words titled Strange Monsters, up on Kickstarter for the month of July. The album will feature my stories read by actors and accompanied by Peter’s compositions, which will be played by musicians in our home studio.

The first track is available to listen to for free on the Kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stufflebeam/strange-monsters-a-music-and-words-collaboration

Please donate and/or spread the word! Thanks!

Audio reprint, Clarkesworld Year Seven, and “Doors” illustration

I just returned from a week-long camping retreat with fellow writers Julie Day and Michael DeLuca. We viewed the Marfa lights, walked in the Big Bend hot sun, seared vegan marshmallows, and half-slept in a haunted tent. I returned sunburnt, exhausted, but inspired.

While away, a few writing bits filled my inbox.

My story “An Exodus of Wings,” which originally appeared in Daily Science Fiction, has been reprinted in the audio magazine The Drabblecast. Listen to it here.

The Clarkesworld: Year Seven anthology is out now, as of March 24. It includes my short story “The Wanderers.”

I saw a first glimpse of the art for my forthcoming story “Doors” from Interzone. I’m thrilled to see the whole issue.

Art & Words Selections

I’m thrilled to announce that all the Art & Words participants have been chosen. We received an awesome amount of great work, but due to space constraints in Art on the Boulevard’s new gallery space (4919B Camp Bowie in Fort Worth), I limited myself to a strict ten. It was a difficult choice, but I’m excited to see the final show.

The Art & Words Show will be on Saturday, September 26, 2015 and will start at 6:30 PM with the reading at 7:30 PM. Drinks and light snacks will be served. I hope to see you there.
