		<title>More about Meshie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two years ago I posted this anecdote about the stuffed chimpanzee in this photo.  To recap, during the 1930&#8242;s, a curator in the American Museum of Natural History adopted the chimp on a trip to Africa, named her Meshie, and attempted to raise her as part of his human family for years, treating her like [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Stereogram&#8221; is up on Podcastle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; and it&#8217;s wonderful!  Grame Dunlop and Ann Leckie do a beautiful dual reading.  The podcast is here:  PodCastle 166: Stereogram of the Gray Fort, in the Days of Her Glory.  It gets an R for violence! Also, Rich Horton&#8217;s  The Year&#8217;s Best Science Fiction &#38; Fantasy 2011 Edition, which includes this story, has just [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Stereogram&#8221; Made the Locus List!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, I know I’m starting to sound like a one-hit wonder here, but my Fantasy Magazine story “Stereogram of the Gray Fort, in the Days of Her Glory” continues to get some exciting attention. First: It made the Locus 2010 Recommended Reading List!  Right up there with a bunch of real writers whose stuff I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shameless Award Plug Season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It looks like it’s time for spec-fic writers to start thinking about award nominations, and I want to point out my short story “Stereogram of the Gray Fort, in the Days of Her Glory,” which appeared in Fantasy Magazine in June 2010. I think it’s worth some attention.  When it was published, Rich Horton wrote [...]]]></description>

		<title>Small Burdens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lois Tilton at Locus Online was lukewarm regarding my “Stereogram” piece, but when my story “Small Burdens” came out in Strange Horizons back in March, she gave it a “Recommended.”  The other day, in her year-end wrap-up, she called it one of her three favorite Strange Horizons stories of the year: Strange Horizons, now on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kuroda Bushi &#8211; A Translation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This isn’t the type of thing I usually put up on this site, but someone may find it useful one day, and it should be on the internet somewhere. A friend is studying to be an opera singer, and for a performance project she was assigned an old, traditional Japanese folk song called a min’yo [...]]]></description>

		<title>Well, That Could Have Gone a Lot Worse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The BSFA’s Short Story Club has ended, and they are in the post-mortem phase now.  My “Stereogram of the Gray Fort, in the Days of Her Glory” got some of the harsh treatment I expected, but it looks like my story polarized the group more than most, and the discussion also included a few comments [...]]]></description>

		<title>If Short Story Club is Anything Like Fight Club, I’m Breaking the First Rule</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The editorial staff of Vector, the critical journal of the British Science Fiction Association, is running an online short story club – each week from late August through November, they’re discussing a noteworthy or interesting story that has been published on the internet recently.  And I’m stunned to say they’ve selected my “Stereogram of the [...]]]></description>
