“Afterlife in America” and “Endings”

NASTY: Fetish fights back, a politically-charged erotica anthology, reviewed in Rolling Stone, is now available on Amazon. ” With stories from New York Times Bestseller Selena Kitt, Shirley Jackson Winner Gemma Files, five-time Bram Stoker Award Winner Lucy A. Snyder and more, this collection pushes the boundaries not only of steamy sex but of what defines us as sexual beings.” Oh, and it has a sci-fi story by Matthew F. Amati in it. Needs some review love, people, go to Amazon, order/download, read, and give us some reviews!

“My Bologna Has a First Name” is up at Daily Science Fiction

• Shortlisted at Clarkesworld  and another possible acceptance at Daily Science Fiction. We’ll see — getting into Clarkesworld is like jumping off the roof and landing on a passing unicorn.
• Review of To Comfort the Headless Child  has appeared in Quick Sips. They like my story so I will point you to it.
• New edition of Loompaland will be ready as soon as I make up my mind and hit “approve.”
• Sitting on a bunch of submittable material; have been distracted and lazy due to life upheavals.

Cannibal-themed short story “My Bologna Has a First Name” is scheduled to appear in DSF on Wed. March 22nd.

Update 2-15-17: Stories are live at Cafe Irreal and Cosmic Roots. The latter’s behind a paywall.

Signed contracts for stories in these publications. You never know exactly when they’ll appear. Some have a pretty long lead time; I think I’ve waited 6 months on DSF.

• Cafe Irreal
• Cosmic Roots & Eldritch Shores
• Daily Science Fiction
• Flash Fiction Online

It’s a lot of “hanging fire” though. Would be nice to see a February 1 barrage.

I’ve been invited to join the masthead for Space Squid magazine! They’ve made me an associate editor / slushpile warrior. It’s a real honor. Looking forward to attending Armadillocon this year and meeting up with fellow Squids.
