Courtesy of my grandmother…

Apparently, the Vietnamese word for “vampire” is “ma cà rồng”. It’s unfortunately close to the word “macaron“, aka the Italian meringue-based confectionery. Cue much hilarity when my grandmother described Edward Cullen as a macaron…

(and yes, my grandmother has read Twilight, which she refers to as the macaron novel… *helpless laughter*)

My short story “Blighted Heart” can now be found in the anthology The Best of BCS, along with tales from wistling (Tony Pi), snickelish (Sarah L. Edwards), and therinth (Erin Cashier). If you feel like trying out stories about creepy corn-men, Russian witches and a homonculus forced to do an alchemist’s dark bidding, then here’s the place :=)
Available in a variety of ebook formats including Kindle and epub.

Also, a belated nod to a joint interview with Gareth L. Powell (courtesy of the tireless Charles Tan) about our collaboration, “The Church of Accelerated Redemption”, now available in the Shine Anthology.
