My story, Change of Life, will go up on PodCastle next week. It was originally published in Farthing magazine and is one of the first stories of mine to see print. I love it to death and can’t wait to hear what the reader makes of it.

Subscribe to the podcast now so you don’t miss it (and the many other fine stories they put up each week).

And may I just say that this story would not have sold without the excellent critiques and advice from my fellow Black Beans.  Thanks, ladies!

Orbit US is excited to announce the acquisition of a debut fantasy trilogy by N. K. Jemisin that combines the politics of George R. R. Martin with the magic of Neil Gaiman. The trilogy will open with The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms in Fall 2009.

Heh. ::huge grin:: Guess what I’ll be working on for the next year or so?
