This is How the Rain Falls

I've got a new short story live at Daily Science Fiction, "This is How the Rain Falls."

Kindle Sale + Keyforge

Given the rough times we are all in together, right now until March 26th, Immortal works has all their e-books on sale for $0.99, including The Redwood Palace.

Unrelated, but cheerful and bright -- I'm going to be part of Keyforge: Tales From the Crucible. I have two novelettes in here, "Useful Parasites" and "The Librarian's Duel." As someone who adores board games, it was extremely fun to write in this world. There's already some great reviews coming in. If you're a book reviewer, this one is over at Netgalley.

I wish I had something profound to add about everything that's happening in the world right now, but truth of the matter is, I'm no great essayist. I am taking care of my family, playing board games, staying away from other people, and trying not to spend too much time reading the news. I hope everyone else out there is trying to stay safe.

Audible + LTUE Presentation Slides

The audio book for The Redwood Palace is now available!

Also, for anyone who was at my "Plotting a Romance is Like Writing a Math Proof" class at LTUE, I've now e-mailed my slides out to everyone who asked for them. But there have been two e-mails that bounced back. If you'd like slides and haven't got them yet, please feel free to e-mail me at info.mkhutchins@gmail.com.

End of 2019 Post

It's once again the season of award eligibility posts! I will keep it short and sweet:

My novel, The Redwood Palace, came out this year.

And I had three short stories come out in 2019:

"The King's Mirror", Strange Horizons.

"The Staircase to the Moon", Fireside.

"The End of Lunar Hens", Analog.

If you're reading one story/author for awards, based on Twitter, I think "The King's Mirror" has been my most popular story this year.

FanX Fall 2019
