The Thackery T. Lambshead Cabinet of Curiosities edited by Jeff and Ann VanderMeer will be out on July 12th. So if you want to be one of the self-selected few who can say you pre-ordered it, you'd better do that now!

Do so on Amazon!
Do so on IndieBound!
Do so on Barnes & Noble!

Do so on all three if you'd like, it's fine with me. :)


After the death of Dr. Thackery T. Lambshead at his house in Wimpering-on-the-Brook, England, a remarkable discovery was unearthed: the remains of an astonishing cabinet of curiosities. Many of these artifacts, curios, and wonders related to anecdotes and stories in the doctor's personal journals. Others, when shown to the doctor's friends, elicited further tales from a life like no other. Thus, in keeping with the bold spirit exemplified by Dr. LambsĀ­head and his exploits, we now proudly present highlights from the doctor's cabinet, reconstructed not only through visual representations but also through exciting stories of intrigue and adventure. A carefully selected group of popular artists and acclaimed, bestselling authors has been assembled to bring this cabinet of curiosities to life.

Contributors include Holly Black, Greg Broadmore, Ted Chiang, John Coulthart, Rikki Ducornet, Amal El-Mohtar, Minister Faust, Jeffrey Ford, Lev Grossman, N.K. Jemisin, Caitlin R. Kiernan, China Mieville, Mike Mignola, Michael Moorcock, Alan Moore, Garth Nix, Naomi Novik, James A. Owen, Helen Oyeyemi, J.K. Potter, Cherie Priest, Ekaterina Sedia, Jan Svankmajer, Rachel Swirsky, Carrie Vaughn, Jake von Slatt, Tad Williams, Charles Yu, and many more

Did you see the 'many more'? That's me! I slipped something into the back of the cabinet. When I'm big in 2012, you're going to be scrambling to get your hands on this. So might as well beat the rush and not procrastinate about it.

So I've had a story published! Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] keyan_bowes who mentioned this publication was looking for submissions. The theme was Rumplestiltskin. I mulled it over for a few days, and then wrote one.

My story is "The Queen's Child Comes In" and the publication is Enchanted Conversation.

You can see the introduction to the issue here.

Or go straight to my story. I've used a pen name. (Having received mixed advice about using my own name and agonizing and agonizing. But anyhow..)

Also in this issue, I recommend:
"Garbage-to-Gold Spindle -- On Sale Now!" by Eileen Weidbrauk
"The Duchess's Boy" by Louise Quenneville

There's also poetry if that's more your thing. And each story is a different take on Rumplestiltskin, so well worth a read. But read mine first! ;)

Someone on the Broad Universe mailing list (which you can read without becoming a member, but not post to, btw) twigged me onto Tweet the Meat and other tweet-paying markets. Tweet the Meat has the best contract from what I've seen. They only ask for first digital rights. How they define 'digital', I have no idea. But in any case, should I decide it makes a great Tshirt, or I want to make a collection of my best tweets ever at some future date, I can go right ahead and do that.

My tweet goes out tonight, so join Twitter (or not, but you really should join Twitter), and start following @tweetthemeat.

And, I suppose you can follow me too, if you're so inclined. I'm @JulieMAwesome.
