I just noticed that over at the Realms of Fantasy message board there was a poll for best story of 2006, and my “Blood of Virgins” is in the lead. Wow. I’m humbled, and I’d just like to thank everyone who voted for me. Both of you.
I decided my welcome page needed some more random text as a visual element, so I had to come up with some catchy phrase to give visitors some idea of what to expect from my fiction. What I came up with was “Offbeat, whimsical fiction blending fantasy, science fiction, politics, and pop culture,” which I think isn’t bad. I may keep it, I may change it, I don’t know. Anyway, I wondered who else out on the internet might be described as “offbeat” and “whimsical,” so I asked my pal Google, and this led me to discover Miranda July. Her short story collection looks kind of cool, I’ll probably get it. And I can’t speak for the fiction, but her website is certainly “offbeat” and “whimsical.”
