News:

On June 12, 2008, I'll be appearing as part of Writers with Drinks, which has won "Best Literary Night" from the SF Bay Guardian readers' poll four years in a row and was recently named "Best Literary Drinking" by the SF Weekly. The spoken word "variety show" mixes genres to raise money for other magazine, a national magazine for people who feel pigeonholed by mainstream media categories. I am sharing the stage with Mistress Morgana,whose stories have appeared in the anthologies Politically Inspired and Sex For America: Politically Inspired Erotica; Ray Molina of the comedy show Oddly Americana, and (drum roll please) the eminent and humongously talented Ishmael Reed. I will try not to let this go to my head.

7:30 to 9:30pm, doors open at 7:00, at The Make Out Room, 3225 22nd Street between Mission and Valencia, San Francisco,. Admission is $3 to $5 on a sliding scale, all proceeds benefit local nonprofits. Y'all come now.

Starting on April 10, 2008, I'll again be teaching the Science Fiction Master Class through Gotham Writers Workshop.

3/2008: Michael Kurland, editor of a series of anthologies of modern stories about Sherlock Holmes, has accepted one of mine. It's titled The English Señor.
