My pal (and super artist) Aaron Deyoe has whipped up a little pdf of Shatter Shatter, a story about doing bad things and being exiled to Ohio. Also a story whose title comes from a Tori Amos song.
Check it out here, or DOWNLOAD it here.

true story.
my most awesome and talented friend Skipper has a new story out in Fantasy Magazine this week. It’s called The Medusa Complex. You’d be doing yourself a favor to check it out because it’s pretty damn cool.
teaser:
You have opened the box, so we’ll have to assume that your mother is dead. We would like to offer our sincerest condolences. It’s not going to help, drinking vast quantities of rum out of Holiday Inn Dixie cups, but we agree it dulls the edges. We do think you should stop drinking, however, and focus on these instructions.
just became slightly more awesome.
Mary Robinette Kowal, 2008 Campbell Award winner, 2009 Hugo Award nominee, and all around excellent person just finished her novel Glamour in Glass in our guest room.
Neat!
Congrats, Mary!
Also, Mary has a new story up @ Tor.com. I’m only at the beginning of First Flight, but I love the story so far, and looking forward to finishing.
