greygirlbeast's Sirenia Digest, please do so. In addition to her "Rappaccini's Dragon," whose title alone I love, this month's issue will include "The Mirror of Venus," which is my first sketch of the alternate history with Etruscan personal names and the Venetian thalassocracy. I expect more to follow.*
Aserzebet has mentioned, my poem "Postscripts from the Red Sea" will be published by Papaveria Press as a handbound, limited edition before the end of this year. I am looking forward to this exceedingly.
Spending much of today withwind05 at the Museum of Fine Arts, looking at portraits by El Greco (and various roomfuls of classical art)? Definitely worth the travel time. Although not so much the disturbing fruit.
* I never used to write sequels, or anything resembling them. Now not only do I have an entire other world that proliferates every time I look sideways at it, there is a character briefly mentioned in "The Salt House" for whom I will need to research World War I. Maybe this is how my brain compensates for the lack of regular academic input?

Thank you! It appeared originally in Goblin Fruit; I should be so lucky as to have so many beautiful publications twice.

Probably with her first collection of short fiction, Tales of Pain and Wonder (2000), recently reprinted in its definition edition by Subterranean Press. After which, if you like what you see, I would start with her first novel Silk (1998) and proceed from there. She lists her books in print <a href="http://greygirlbeast.livejournal.com/454746.html>here</a>.

Psst! Will you be at Wiscon? If you are, come to the Goblin Fruit reading on Sunday at 3:00! It'll be in Jess and my as-yet-undisclosed room in the Concourse. There'll be prezzies...

I didn't need to think about that.

And you've piqued my curiosity (again) about this Venetian thalassocracy. My work schedule is keeping me from keeping up with your writing! That's not a good thing. Hope to read more soon...
