“Instead of a Loving Heart’ on Escape Pod

I am super, super excited to announce that my story from All-Star Zeppelin Adventure Stories (edited by Jay Lake and David Moles–two of the finest cats to mark up a manuscript) has gone live on Escape Pod. Escape Pod is the one podcast I listen to every week without fail, and I’ve been using Escape Pod as an example of the best reader/listenership you can find online. Having a story go live with them is one of my major career goals. I just gave it a listen as I got ready for work, and I loved it. Major, major squee for me today.

I recently finished the first draft of a YA novel called Takedown Notice set in the net-mage universe of my stories “Captain Blood’s B00ty” and “One Click Banishment.” What happens when the Magical Association of Atlantis finally gets the upper hand against the net mages in the spell program copyfight?
