I’m thrilled to learn that my short story “Last Concert – Luzon, Philippines” won first runner-up in PRISM international’s 2013 Fiction contest. The story features a constipated classical guitarist on the last concert of his first tour, a hole in a wall, some dogs, and other stuff. This year’s judge was Annabel Lyon, whose writing I admire.

In other news, I freaked myself out last night, here’s how: apparently I was staring at my lamp with only one of my eyes (??? I know. I was in bed and the other was blocked by a pillow I guess) so when I turned my light off I could see with my left eye but not my right (due to starting at the lamp) and I thought I’d burst a retina or some other awful thing. (All’s back to normal now.)
In third news, I went to Seattle and geeked it out at comicon. Here’s a shirt I bought:
And some friends I made:
Story “Suite in Dark Matter” to be published by Granta online, possibly even this week. Their latest issue is the Horror issue, and from what one of the editors said I wonder if that’s what gave my story an edge…
Granta says: “I’m so glad we’ll be publishing this story. I’ve been a fan of it since I first read it, and it has never stopped creeping me out.”
Excited!
