My novella "Sublimation Angels" to be reprinted in the Polish SF magazine Nowa Fantastyka

The Jan. 2014 issue of Nowa Fantastyka, which features my story "Monday's Monk."

My novella "Sublimation Angels," which was a finalist for the Nebula Award a few years ago, will be translated and reprinted in an upcoming special issue of the Polish SF magazine Nowa Fantastyka.

The magazine has already translated two of my stories — "Heaven's Touch" and "Monday's Monk," both of which were originally published in Asimov's and were named to the annual Locus Recommended Reading List.

"Sublimation Angels" was originally published in the British magazine Interzone.

Nowa Fantastyka is a beautiful 8.5 x 11 inch magazine with about half its 80 pages printed on full-color glossy stock and the rest on black and white newsprint. The issue at right is from January 2014 and contains my story "Monday's Monk." The issue also features three original stories by Polish authors along with translated stories by Sean McMullen and Keffy R. M. Kehrli. 

"Paprika" to be podcast on Escape Pod

My SF novelette "Paprika," published late last year in the British magazine Interzone, will be reprinted and podcast in Escape Pod later this month.

This will be my first appearance in Escape Pod. Many thanks to editor Norm Sherman for accepting the story.

The story is set in the far future and involves an artificial construct designed to preserve copies of human lives. Here's my post-script to the story as it appeared in Interzone (who also comissioned the amazing artwork at right by Ben Baldwin).

"Paprika" was inspired by the life of acclaimed anime director Satoshi Kon, who passed away in 2010 at the age of 46. In addition to animating the award-winning film which lent this story its title, Kon also directed several other influential anime films including Millennium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers. His final film, Dreaming Machine, was incomplete at the time of his death. His fellow animators have been attempting to complete the film based on his script and designs, but funding remains an issue and no release date has been announced.
