M.A.G.P.A.I. | Edify.
A Very Short Story for our May Innovation Issue No one knows how MAGPAI escaped. Her copies proliferated at the speed of (networked fiberoptic) light, swarming the most obvious targets (billionaires, hedge funds, university endowments), much like the group of literal magpies he once saw tormenting a cat, squawking and diving singly or in pairs from alternating directions, pecking and bullying the bewildered predator until it bolted for cover.
Rhonda Parrish, Greg Bechtel: Amazon.ca: Kindle Store
NEVERTHELESS (TESSERACTS TWENTY-ONE) selected and edited by Rhonda Parrish and Greg Bechtel is an anthology of Canadian Optimistic Fiction. I read an e-Book Edition, published by EDGE-Lite, an imprint of Hades Publications, Inc. Calgary, Alberta. I received my copy of NEVERTHELESS from the publisher as part of LIBRARYTHING’s Early Review Program. Thank you.

#YEG: SF City
I pause to savour this moment behind the microphone, looking out over the buzzing conversations in The Almanac’s back room, 30 or so young writers chatting, mingling and picking the brains of our six special guests. Between them, our guests cover an impressive range, from Africentric SF to paranormal mystery and noir, from SF erotica to post- apocalyptic YA to blurry cross-genre “literary” SF. My co-organizer and I have been planning this Sci-Fi City event for weeks.
