/ RCRuiz

My PGS story, Song of the Body Cartographer has made it to the BSFA shortlist. The complete shortlist is here. Winners will be announced at Eightsquaredcon which will be in Bradford, UK.

I will be at Bradford together with good friend and awesome author, Aliette de Bodard whose short story, Immersion, is also on the shortlist.

It’s an honor to be listed along with all the other shortlisted nominees. Thank you for nominating my story. It thrills me that a story published in a Philippine publication has received all this attention.

2013 is here

2013 is here and it’s starting out really well on the writing front.

Nisi Shawl has announced the Table of Contents for Bloodchildren which is coming out next week. I’ve been eagerly waiting for the official announcement so I could finally squee about it.

On the publishing front, my fractured fiction, Distance, has been published on Our Own Voice as well as my essay titled, On First-worlders adopting children from third-world countries like mine.

Song of the Body Cartographer has been nominated for the BSFA short fiction awards.  It’s the only nominated work published by a Filipino publication and it’s making the Filipino publication visible that pleases me the most.

I’m also changing things here on the website, so updating it becomes easier. Have a nice cup of tea, pull a chair up and have a look around. My blog where I talk about stuff other than updates is at Talking to the Moon.

Happy 2013.
