I’ll be teaching at Anglia Ruskin University again this spring. Just a couple of classes on weird short fiction. If you’d like to see my teaching videos, they’re all on my Patreon<\/a>, which you can join for a mere \u00a31 a month. Patreon keeps me afloat these days, so every sub is a bright spark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of weird fiction, I’ll be spending Valentine’s Day the right way: talking about the romance of graveyards at Writing The Occult. Tickets for this online event are available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What else? I’ll be in the next edition of Hellebore, talking about some fun nineteenth century court cases when folklore got rowdy. The Hellebore fiction anthology, Tales From Occult Britain<\/a><\/em>, got a shout out in the Washington Post of all places. Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Michael Dirda mentioned the book in his Christmas roundup. It’s extremely gratifying when a small press gets international attention. More of this sort of thing, please!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And on the subject of end-of-year lists, I’m very pleased to see that four of my stories made it to Ellen Datlow’s annual recommendations. Last year was pretty dry for me, creatively, so I’m hoping to take this buoyancy and let it carry me to better things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See you on Valentine’s Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
