I haven’t finished the issue by any means (I read ridiculously little right now. It’s a combination of the impending move and having too much work to do), but I wanted to recommend this story, “Events at Fort Plenitude.” The only complaint I have about it was that it wasn’t novella length. The setting is a weird American West, including native tribes and harsh, starving winters. It has buffalo! But also demons in the magic, and royalty in the political structure. It hints at some larger place, one that I would very much like to revisit. Call me a country rube, but I am a sucker for fantasy obviously set in the Midwest. Also for stories told in the diary format. Cat’s a fine writer, and I doubt this is anywhere near her best story, just because of how good she writes, but I enjoyed it for the above reasons. If you like those sorts of things, then you should read it too.

My story from the excellent anthology Seeds of Change (edited by the Anthology God, formerly known here as the Slush God, John Joseph Adams) has gone live over at Escape Pod.

Do you remember that Disney CG film Dinosaurs? It’s original concept involved a feature length movie with animals that only emoted, and never spoke. Having always been a big fan of computer animation, I was excited at the early rumors of the film. Unfortunately, Disney execs got involved and the result was the talky-travesty that [...]
I forget where I got this, but I think that it’s the level of quality I’d like to see in more book trailers online:
Having Tim Curry as a narrator is probably outside of the range of what we can afford as SF/F writers, but still. Let’s go over what makes this awesome:
Tight pacing. 2 minutes [...]
Located 15 minutes south of Fort Collins, Coyote Ridge is a natural area consisting if a couple hundred acres of prairie. A trail runs from the road up across several ridges. Today, I walked to the base of the second ridge before coming back. I’ll make the full hike to the end [...]
