I'm proud to announce that I just sold my Clarion West week 6 story "Say Goodbye to the Little Girl Tree" to Ann Leckie at GigaNotoSaurus!

I wrote "Say Goodbye to the Little Girl Tree" at Clarion West for Chuck Palahniuk's week. I owe him a great deal of thanks for the way he helped me make it sweet & brutal. I'm so happy it sold.

I just sold my story "Trickster's Song" to Expanded Horizons! A 14 day acceptance. #MailboxBlues

The Team Losh anthology to benefit Aloshua's medical fund has been released, featuring fiction by albionidaho and myself, and many others.

A kinky amusement park planet is threatened by a Godzilla-like placenta, and at the heart of it all, is the love between a robot pirate and the perfect woman he creates. Throw in a BDSM kitty and a burlesque dancing pope, and you have the recipe for a bizarre love story that's better than any B-movie.

While this is as weird and magical as you'd hope from a souped-up Bizarro novel, this is not your average weird tale. There is a surprising depth here in the romance, the dialog, and the bloody action sequences that really kicks this up to the next level. If you love stuff by Carlton Mellick (Satan Burger), Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan) or Kurt Vonnegut (Slaughterhouse 5), I suggest giving this author a try. I don't know how much ass Spike Marlowe kicks in her superhero job, but she is one kick-ass writer. Placenta of Love has got it going on.

albionidaho and I have sold our short story "Brass" to the Boys of Summer anthology edited by
mroctober!

I officially heard from the editors of the Up Jumped the Devil anthology that the book has folded. Many thanks to nihilistic_kid  who tipped me off first. Sadly, no more hamburger money for Kazzie...

Now I must find a new market for my 8200 word dark fantasy/horror story, "Say Goodbye to the Little Girl Tree". It's a good story, and I have a lot of hope for it.

It's about time for me to put up a more permanent website at ChristopherReynaga.com. I will continue to blog here, but these are the best places to find me:

• Twitter: ChrstphrReynaga
• Facebook: Christopher Reynaga
• Google+: Christopher Reynaga

I heard from the editors of Up Jumped the Devil, that the check for my story "Say Goodbye to the Little Girl Tree" is in the mail.

Woot! I can't wait to go out and buy Kazzie a hamburger!

Very much looking forward to seeing you all at Potlatch this year. I'm trying to afford making it to FogCon as well, the following weekend. Much writing geekery is afoot!
