Penny on the water, tuppence on the sea

For International Sex Worker Rights Day, I am very pleased to announce that my short story "Odd Sympathy," originally published in Sirenia Digest #17 (ed. Caitlín R. Kiernan, 2007), has been accepted for reprint by the charitable anthology The Big Book of Little Deaths, edited by William Tea and forthcoming this spring from Silent Motorist Media. All proceeds go to a sex worker support charity and the table of contents is a stunner—Gemma Files, Bracken MacLeod, Scott R. Jones, LC von Hessen, Adam Bolivar, Brookelynne Warra, Michael Brueggeman, Sean M. Thompson, Maxwell Ian Gold, and many, many more. For years I thought of my story as the only steampunk I had ever written, but it's probably clockpunk nowadays; it has punch cards, William Blake, and lots of music I was listening to at the time. It has never been reprinted before. I am glad for it to be in such a good cause.

Thank you! I am hoping we raise heaps of money. And I am really looking forward to the book.

Besides which, of the many Sirenia Digests I do have, I don't have that one. (I did, in searching for it, find the issue with "The Woman Who Was Wife...", which just lives under my lungs forever but it's nice to re-map the words now and then.)
