I will be doing a reading at 4pm ET today for Balticon (balticon.org/)
I'm not physically in Baltimore, but thanks to the power of technology I can make it!. If you're attending the convention: see you at the Speculative Poetry Open Mic & Contest Winners reading

I had the honour of compiling the anthology, and of receiving so many incredible stories.
For my personal contribution: "The Rejuvenation Machine" is a #sciencefiction #figureskating story landing just in time for the Olympics!
