I work as a face painter and it's pretty fun. I paint at festivals, birthday parties, corporate events, and more. Check out some samples at tinapaints.com.
The rest of the time I write. It's mostly science fiction and fantasy, some for kids, some for grownups. I like bizarro worlds and I like funny.
Now Here:
*four riffs on fall: "On Glicker Street", in the Escape Clause anthology.
*my quasi-zombie story, "Turning the Apples" from Strange Horizons, and forthcoming at Pseudopod
*a girl with a past; a god with a mission: "The God-Death of Halla" from Beneath Ceaseless Skies (also available as audio!)
*a poem about little green men, "And My Sinuses...." in the August 2009 Asimov's
*choose your own adventure, try to avoid getting eaten: Hard Choices at Brain Harvest.
Coming Soon:
*girl meets girl, with ferries and volcanoes: "Silverfin Harbor" in The End of an AEon
*kiddie gangs on moonbase: "The Bitrunners" from Helix, online at Transcriptase, forthcoming in Unplugged: Year's Best Online SF 2008.
Archived Online:
*love in the time of cyborgs: "On the Eyeball Floor" from Strange Horizons, and at Escape Pod
*the poem "Rehydration" at Strange Horizons
*the girl + bear + squid story "Moon at the Starry Diner" in issue #3 of Heliotrope
*unattended humans: "A Day Out, With Stereoscopes", online as a free sample of Birkensnake #1
Spectacularly awesome. I kept ever so little journal here, and we have a class website here.

Friend at will! Unfriend at will! I won't be offended. If I don't add everyone it's only part of the super-ingenious master time management strategy to limit my blog-reading.
