poem online / short story sale

So I sold a story and a poem in the past week--both of them first-time sales to publications I greatly admire. The poem, "song for Mary Henry" (inspired by Carnival of Souls), is now online at Through the Gate.

The story, "The Hedgehog and the Pine Cone," will appear later this year in the "Animals" issue of Lackington's.

Readercon is next week!
