As a result of an internal error in moving my e-mail account from one web host to another on November 13th, I temporarily lost the ability to receive mail on the csm (at) csmaccath (dot) com account. If you tried to send e-mail to me on that account between November 13th and November 17th, I did not receive it and ask that you please re-send it. Thank you.
I'll be singing with An Cliath Clis on Thursday, November 25th at Citadel High's 4th Annual Céilidh in Halifax.

I have resigned as poetry editor of Aontacht, effective today. Please direct any poetry submissions for that magazine to aontacht (at) druidicdawn.org.
Aontacht Volume 3 Issue 2 is now available for download at the Aontacht web site.
My poem "Leviathans" is up at Strange Horizons.
I have just learned that the critically-acclaimed speculative fiction magazine Murky Depths has won the 2010 British Fantasy Award for Best Magazine/Periodical. Congratulations to Terry Martin, the whole editorial crew and all the artists and writers who contributed to this success.
Which would include...
Me! My epistolary short story "The Longest Road in the Universe" was published in the magazine last year, so of course I am especially excited to hear about this award (Incidentally, that publication marked the first time my name ever appeared on the cover of anything too, so...like...SHAZAAM!)
I am delighted to report that my poem 'Leviathans' has been accepted for publication in Strange Horizons.
I have taken on the roll of volunteer poetry editor for Aontacht, an online publication of Druidic Dawn. What follows is a call for submissions.
Volume 3, Issue 2,
“Sovereignty”
Deadline Aug 15, 2010
The Celts understood the Wild Earth as sovereign, as a goddess; what is sovereignty and how can we apply this to our everyday life?
For this issue, I'll be looking for poetry that addresses the relationship between the sovereign and the land as expressed in Celtic cosmology and literature. Your interpretation of this theme might be Pagan, Christian, historical, modern, fantastic or other. You might write free verse, structured verse or prose poetry. Submissions should be sent in the body of your e-mail as plain text to aontacht (at) druidicdawn (dot) org.
