New blog address
I now have my own domain. (And, yes, I’m the master of my domain.) I migrated the contents of this blog over to a new address: http://www.angiesmibert.com/blog. Eventually, I’ll have a web site, too.
Writing Goals 2010
- Participate in a new authors’ marketing group (Y2K11) for Memento Nora
- Finish and sell Forgetting Curve
- Start next book
- Develop better author web site / blog
SCBWI WIP Grant
Evidently I received a Letter of Merit in SCBWI’s 2009 Work-in-Progress Grant competition. Thanks to Kathryn Gaglione–the other Virginia winner–for pointing it out to me.
Janissary Games
Here’s a pdf of my latest Odyssey story, “Janissary Games.” Published in ODYSSEY magazine, July / August 2009, © 2009 Carus Publishing. Used with permission.
Past Odyssey Stories
Several people have asked me put my stories that appeared in past issues of Odyssey on my blog. So, I got permission from the magazine to post them. Here are stories (pdf) up to, but not including, the present one:
- “The Option Package,” published in ODYSSEY magazine, January 2009, © 2009 Carus Publishing. Used with permission.
- “The BEARs of Syria Planum,” published in ODYSSEY magazine, October 2008, © 2008 Carus Publishing. Used with permission.
- “Memento Nora,” published in ODYSSEY magazine, May/June 2008, © 2008 Carus Publishing. Used with permission.
- “The Boy who Spoke in Colors,” published in ODYSSEY magazine, December 2007, © 2007 Carus Publishing. Used with permission.
I’ll post the ones from July 2009 and September 2009 when I get my copies.
Farrago’s & Odyssey
My story “Hollow Woman” is in this quarter’s issue of Farrago’s Wainscot . (And, no, before anybody asks, it’s not autobiographical.)
And, my story, “Janissary Games,” is in this month’s Odyssey Magazine. Sorry, no online content. It’s purely a print mag.
The Catalog
This story will be in the September 2009 (Techno-Travel) issue of Odyssey.
Hollow Woman
This story will be in the July issue of Farrago’s Wainscot. The Wainscot, btw, won the Million Writers Award for Best New Online Magazine.
Janissary Games
Odyssey just accepted this story for their July/August 2009 issue. My story is a rather dark take on the issue’s theme: the biology of play.
