Dropping In

Hello all,

Andy has very kindly invited me to come and go on this blog, and so here I am. I'm teaching in North Carolina this semester, and so I may occasionally disappear and then reappear, as my schedule gets tight. I'm happy to address specific questions about specific stories, or about genre or writing or editing in general, but mainly I'm happy to see what comes up in discussion and on the blog. I'm extremely interested in other people's zombie contingency plans. (I'm always adapting mine. By the way, in Lexington, Kentucky, there is a yearly reenactment of the Thriller video in the downtown by dancers & locals in full-on zombie costumes. I saw it this year, and am tempted to go back again next.)

I won't mind if you don't like some (or all) of the stories. I have a thick skin. I'm as interested in why things don't work for particular readers as in why they _do_ work.

And by the way, I didn't know that bouganvillea represented family/heritage, etc. It was a happy accident.

I have a question: do you have some kind of zombie obsession? It seems like most of these stories have a zombie in it at some point or another. I mean how do you become interested in zombies?

I do have to say that you scored major points with me in "Lull" (at least I think it was "Lull"). I'm mormon, and first, seeing Latter-day Saint rather than Mormon, and seeing Latter-day rather than Latter-Day like most people do, was great. The stories were good! And don't forget to leave us your zombie contingency plan.
