SHINY a YA SF mag is out now and one of its stories is mine.

Being Bella Wang is a short story where I got to combine a bit of Asian myth with a bit of science fiction and Australian values.

It was a case of writing what I wanted to write (I'd been thinking about writing stories set in SE Asia for years) and editors actually liking it.

Thinking about doing more of that, ignoring the market and writing what I want stuff. It's a lot more fun that way.

In sad news Sputnik 57 is no more. They had two of my stories there, the Clarion one about the Luggage Carousel, and that old odd slapstick SF, Delicacy. All rights revert to me... but what do I do with them?
