An article I wrote for the Queen’s Alumni Review appeared online (I couldn’t find it in the magazine itself, but perhaps I just missed it).

You’ll find it here.

If you are in London (Ontario) or the neighbourhood, I invite you to join me and three other “genre” writers at The Arts Project at 7 pm on November 18, Friday evening. (It’s at 203 Dundas St., between Clarence and Richmond.)

We’ll be having a seminar about “Working in Genre Fiction” — the creative aspects, and the business aspects — and reading from our new novels. If you’re interested in SF, Fantasy, Horror or Crime/Myster fiction, then you’l find this interesting. The other participants include:

  • Kelly Armstrong (The Otherworld Series)
  • R. Scott Bakker (The Darkness that Comes Before)
  • Lori A. May (The Profiler)

It’s $15 at the door, which includes a coupon for 20% off books from the UWO BookStore. I’ll have a few copies of The Amadeus Net on hand too, if you’d like to get one from me directly.

The zine and independent press review Broken Pencil has a reprint of my short story, “The Monkey’s Tail, as Told by Marcel Duchamp the Day After Charles Lindbergh Landed at Le Bourget Field”, which was originally printed in the December 2004 issue of Trunk Stories. You’ll find the Broken Pencil website here.
