Though I'm not sure what I'm catching up to, exactly. 13 Gears was good fun and my Not-So-Silent Planet reading went well. I spent the later part of the week being mildly sick, but nothing serious. Lots of exciting publishing news though!
  • I had my usual delightful monthly breakfast with Caroline Stevermer and learned that I am thanked in the  acknowledgments of her new book, which is up for preorder now! The Glass Magician will be out in April.
  • Speaking of April, Queen of Swords Press (me) will be releasing The Voyages of Cinrak the Dapper by A.J. Fitzwater and it's getting some lovely early reviews, including this one in Publishers Weekly. Preorder is up for the ebook edition, print is gradually making its way out into the world (Amazon, B&N)
  • Continuing my year of Sherlockiana, my story, “The Adventure of the Missing Fiancé,” is now forthcoming in 2021 in The Book of Extraordinary Sherlock Holmes Stories” edited by Maxim Jakubowski from Mango Books. It's a Sherlock Holmes and Mrs. Hudson mystery that follows up where "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches" leaves off. Super excited about this one!
  • More Sherlockiana! “The Rani’s Dream,” is forthcoming this year in Sherlock Holmes and the Occult Detectives edited by John Linwood Grant from Belanger Books.The Kickstarter goes live on 2/24!
  • I just recorded an interview with author Heather Jones for her LHMPodcast today. Link to that posted when it's available; in the meantime, check out the other great episodes and interviews.
On tap for this week: I won tickets to the Emma premiere tomorrow night from Rain Taxi and I'm going back to the Bell Museum with friends on Friday night to see "Silent Sky," a play about Henrietta Swan Leavitt, a  female astronomer at Harvard in the early 1900s. If the weather holds, there'll be an observatory night after the play. Really looking forward to this!

I have a new story out today! "Bluebeard's Wife" in "The Mammoth Book of Jack the Ripper Stories," edited by Maxim Jakubowski is out in print and audiobook now. This was a challenging story to write but I'm glad that Maxim encouraged me to write something for it! I should mention that it's out in the U.K. in print and book today, audiobook all over and out in the U.S. In midDecember. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mammoth-Book-Jack-Ripper-Stories/dp/1472135849

First, the signal boosts:
Eye of Horus Metaphysical Books and Supplies in Minneapolis is getting booted out of their current space at the end of this month. They need to raise $9k to move and one of the owners, Jane, just got diagnosed with cancer. The Eye regularly supports fans as well as providing a great base for interesting workshops and readings. Please
boost and donate.

Writer Tressa Green and her family are in danger of losing their home to foreclosure despite working 3 jobs between them. They need to raise enough money to hold off the sheriff. Writer/artist Lisa Cohen is heading up a benefit auction on
Google+ or you can donate directly.

My wife, Jana Pullman,  is teaching beginning book repair at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts and the class isn't full yet. Boosting for those interested, since this normally fills up.

My latest SF Signal post on "LGBT SFF in the 1990s" got a nice shoutout in the Lambda Literary news, along with a short obit for Frank Robinson.
