NOT IN A CREEPY WAY tho. Wow, I really am terrible at post titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s the deal: I’m now set up as an author on Curious Fictions<\/a>, a new site for connecting writers and readers. You can follow me<\/a> to read public posts in which I expound on storytelling (kind of like this blog, but different), and subscribers<\/strong> can read my classic<\/em> stories (read: reprints<\/em>) which are not available anywhere else online. Such a deal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe first story I’ve made available to CF subscribers is “Somebody’s Daughter,”<\/a> a near-future police procedural from 2014. It’s FREE to read, and if you like it, please consider subscribing<\/strong> (for as little as $2 a month) to see all my future stories!<\/p>\n\n\n\nI picked this one because last Wednesday was the premiere of another near-future police procedural: Ninth Step Station<\/a><\/em> on Serial Box<\/a>, a collaborative serialized story that I wrote with Malka Older, Fran Wilde, and J Koyanagi. Our first episode, “The Faceless Body” by Malka<\/a>, is now available for FREE to read or listen to. Here’s an excerpt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThat’s all for now.
