If you look in the fiction section, you’ll find my Mr. Nine & the Gentleman Ghost next to a Catherynne M. Valente story.

My review of the Apexology Horror anthology is now up at The Portal.

My story Hokkaido Green has been translated to Mandarin.

This time, I authorised the translation.

Lois Tilton at Locus gave Hokkaido Green a nice review.

There is a low-key deadpan humor here that makes this one charming and keeps a heartwarming story from falling into sentimentality. Almost a fairy tale.

I ended up corresponding with White Moon, the Chinese woman that did the translation of Hokkaido Green.

And now there is an authorised Mandarin translation of my story, Reading By Numbers.

Given the structure and formatting of the story, it wouldn’t have been the easiest story to translate, but she has managed to translate it and still preserve the story’s hidden message.
