My story, “Pythian Games,” will be e-mailed by Daily Science Fiction to all subscribers next Friday, March 15th, and will appear on their website the following week. If you enjoy quality SF/F (and free!), please sign up for their daily e-mails at http://dailysciencefiction.com/ Their stories are perfect commute companions–predominantly short and flash length (my story tends to the longer end of their usual, and it isn’t that long). Unlike some of my work, the historical+SF “Pythian Games” is appropriate for most ages (there are a few “damn”s). I’ll send out some other reminders in the coming weeks.
On Friday evening, February 1, I’ll be appearing at the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society to give my presentation “Summers in Oz: L. Frank Baum and Macatawa, MI.” http://psfs.org/
