YBDF&H 2014
The Table of Contents for The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror 2014 has been announced, and "To Die for Moonlight" made the list.
Since it is the only thing I published last year, I am obviously EXTREMELY HAPPY about this. Many thanks to Lynne and Michael and Apex Magazine for giving my werewolves a home.

Some update-y sorts of things
1. I have work again. Yay!
2. Clarkesworld: Year Three is now available (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.). "White Charles" is in it if you're trying to find print versions of the uncollected Booth stories, and in general Clarkesworld is made of awesome.
3. This month's Apex Magazine is Shakespeare-centric; I contributed an essay about Hamlet and the Reformation, "Welcome to the Reformation, Bitches," which explains why pepole saying Hamlet's fatal flaw is indecision gives me ahomicidal nervous tic.

5 things
1. You know the faces people make when they're about to sneeze? Horses do that, too.
2. Sold "Coyote Gets His Own Back" to Apex Magazine & reprint rights for "The Watcher in the Corners" to Ghosts: Recent Hauntings, edited by Paula Guran.
3. Also, because I failed abysmally to blog on the actual launch day, Chicks Dig Comics is out! I contributed an essay on revenge tragedy and Sandman.
4. If arthropods give you a wiggins, DO NOT CLICK THROUGH to the story about the Cincinnati Zoo's Emperor Scorpion and her twenty-five babies. Seriously. Don't. Instead, may I suggest Point Defiance Zoo's unbelievably charming clouded leopard cubs?
5. Speaking of things I failed abysmally to mention, congratulations to all the 2012 Hugo nominees!

5 things, me me me me and also me edition
1. The new Shadow Unit episode, "Hope Is Stronger Than Love," is up. I wrote it.
If you've been wondering about whether you might like Shadow Unit, this episode is pretty self-contained, so it might be a good one to try. (The first taste is freeee-eeeee ... Of course, so are the second, third, and fourth tastes, in this case.)
2. Cons I will be attending in 2012:
Dunno how much I'll be doing at any of 'em--per day job: I don't rate paid vacaction yet, and have found that I may or may not have much brain left on the weekends--but I'll be there.
3. My editor says not to worry about those extra 20,000 words, so I'm suddenly quite close to being able to turn the damn book in. Not quite there yet, but close.
4. I wrote an essay for Chicks Dig Comics, along with a bunch of amazing women.
5. Acupuncture brings Teh Awesome. That is all.

2 better things
I'm not going to make it to five, but have a couple things that are better than my virus:
1. Lightspeed Magazine's free ebook sampler includes my story "The Devil in Gaylord's Creek."
2. The Taronga Zoo, which continues to have the world's most awesome animated logo, has a video of their three Sumatran tiger cubs (plus mom) which put some color back in my world.

taking stock
As the new year begins, my story "Blue Lace Agate" is live at Lightspeed. (Author interview here.) "Blue Lace Agate" is chronologically the first story about Mick and Jamie, the protagonists of "A Night in Electric Squidland" and "Impostors" (in Somewhere Beneath Those Waves), and I'm delighted that it has finally found a home.
ETA: Also, Mateusz Skutnik has a charming little New Year's game which I commend to your attention.
Although I don't usually write year-in-review posts, after the year I've just had, I really do feel the need to sit down and take stock (4,691 irradiated haggis, check).
So.
( 2011 in bullet points )
As 2012 begins, I'm going to full-time as a database thrall, and we'll see what effect that has on my health and my writing.
Goals for 2012 (note to self: do not mistype as "gaols," please) include:
Happy New Year! May 2012 be a better year for all of us than 2011!

I am delighted and amazed that "After the Dragon" is #1. Thank you to everyone who helped put it there. Also, thank you to Fantasy Magazine for the vegan truffles. They are indeed much tastier than a World Fantasy Award.
