But this isn’t actually an interview with Count the Count, it’s an interview with me, Marissa Lingen, and my friend Paul Weimer’s Six Books series, and you can read it here.
I’m very proud that I managed to keep myself to the six requested books and not, like, six million books. That was hard.
New story today in Nature Futures! Star Corps Crew Manual Section 15-A37: On Mental Dislocation. Some of you new crew members need to remember there’s a stun setting on this thing….
Both of these are poems you can order rather than poems you can click through and read for free, but they have another thing in common: they both turned out to be about great huge tracts of…time. Well, okay, brains will do that.

As your monstrous treat this year, please consider an ebook or physical copy of my new chapbook, Monstrous Bonds. It’s available now! Five stories for adults (two reprints, three original) of monsters and friendship. Environmentalism and kaiju! Harpies living at the airport! Monsters and monster-hunters each looking out for their pals against a world with some pretty monstrous problems, internal and external!
I wrote these stories for my friend John Wiswell, but you can have them too! Cover by friend and local writer-artist-all around cool person Jordan Shiveley!
This week’s Audio Vault feature at Beneath Ceaseless Skies is my story Every Tiny Tooth and Claw, or Letters from the First Month of the New Directorate.

New story out from Daily Science Fiction this morning! The Last Navigator.
This one is about a generation ship AI who finds the humans want to go somewhere a bit different…
Today’s new story from me is in Nature Futures, and it’s called Without a Password.
As the post-story notes at the bottom tell you, the seed for this one stayed in my head eighteen years before it had enough to grow on. I’m told patience is a virtue.
Today’s new story is a special case: Grist magazine is having a special climate fiction issue called Imagine 2200, and for it they selected my story A Worm to the Wise.
Frankly it is not easy to focus on hope and optimism this year, so I’m very pleased to have managed this story with its focus on soil science and community. I also love what Grace Abe did with the illustration. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the issue, but in the meantime I hope you enjoy this one.
