This is sort of a hodgepodge of updates, because today has been versatile.

1) My new review of Monument 14 by Emmy Laybourne is now live over at Tor.com.  Check out my coverage of this new apocalyptic YA and see why I liked it and why certain bits disturbed me.

2)I just received my contributor copy of the July 2 issue of Publishers Weekly.  In it, as part of the Flying Starts theme, I interview YA author Leigh Bardugo, whose Russian-themed debut, Shadow and Bone,  came out  last month. I had a lovely time chatting with Leigh, and I had a blast writing this up for PW. I’m thrilled that this even has my name on the byline, so I can actually take public credit for it.

3) Backer Surveys have gone out for Scheherazade’s Facade via the Kickstarter platform, so everyone who pledged should get the alert telling them to respond.  The book is currently scheduled to come out on September 1st ot thereabouts.  I’ll keep an eye on responses to make sure we don’t miss anyone.

4) Just as a reminder, I’m still looking for reviews for my new anthology, Like A Cunning Plan: Erotic Trickster Tales.  If interested and willing to post a review on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, your blog, or elsewhere, please contact me.

5)As an additional thing, I’m also going to need reviews for Scheherazade’s Facade.  If interested and willing to review it, let me know and I’ll see what we can do when the time comes.

That is all!  For now, anyway.
