Niall Alexander is reviewing the short fiction shortlist for the BSFA Awards. Today, Tim Maughan’s Limited Edition and my Song of the Body Cartographer were reviewed. Niall’s review is here.
My thanks to Niall Alexander for his kind words on Song of the Body Cartographer and for the nod towards The Liwatáng Yawa, the Litok-litok and their Prey which was published on the Weird Fiction Review.

My Movements column (Retrieving our Hidden Histories) was published last week and is still available to read at Strange Horizons.
Djibril and Fabio have announced the Table of Contents for the We See A Different Frontier Anthology. My story, What Really Happened in Ficandula, will be in it. I can’t wait to read all of the stories in this anthology.
We’re delighted to be able to announce the beautiful table of contents for the We See a Different Frontier anthology of colonialism-themed speculative fiction co-edited by Fabio Fernandes. We’re really looking forward this hitting the bookshelves at the beginning of July 2013.
Here’s the complete ToC:
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 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.
Ann VanderMeer had this really cool and awesome project called One Minute Weird Tales. Catching an Angel was chosen and made into a video by Gregory Bossert.
