			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My flash piece about one of the many dangers of workplace romance is now available over at <a href="http://www.thousand-faces.com/f_org.htm">A Thousand Faces</a>.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re going to need a hardhat.</p>
<p>Let me know what you think!</p>
<p>I have also written a Christmas story. If all goes well, you may be able to read it in a few weeks. If not, I&#8217;ll have to hang on to it and try to sell it next year, since I didn&#8217;t write it until yesterday. Christmas holiday themed things have a rather narrow window of only about half a year, you know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m delighted to present &#8220;Aftershocks: The Musical&#8221; over at Everyday Fiction. I kid, I kid. It is, however, an audio reading of the story, read by M. Sherlock of the UK&#8217;s own <a href="http://www.myspace.com/stormthegatesuk">Storm the Gates</a>.</p>
<p>Sherlock enjoyed chewing me out a little for writing a story with such difficult names, and deservedly so. I can check &#8220;get called a git by a real Briton&#8221; off my bucket list. Next: Piss off Alan Moore with a film adaptation of <em>Captain Britain</em>.</p>
<p>Anyway, you should <a href="http://www.everydayfiction.com/podcast-edf012-aftershocks/">go give it a listen</a>, even if maybe you read the story back in the day. Audio podcast markets are something I&#8217;d like to penetrate more, when I get around to it. I never seem to have something that&#8217;s the right length.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The second Every Day Fiction Anthology is out, featuring my story, &#8220;Apotheosis Cake,&#8221; as well as stories from Erin, Jens, Stephanie, KC, Gay, Frank, Kevin, and a whole slew of other great writers. You can order it directly from the good folks at EDF <a href="http://www.everydayfiction.com/features/print-books/the-best-of-every-day-fiction-two-anthology/">right here</a>. It should be available at Amazon and other fine booksellers soon.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.afburns.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/covertwo.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-911" title="Every Day Fiction Two" src="http://www.afburns.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/covertwo-217x300.jpg" alt="" width="217" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>I unfortunately can&#8217;t make the official release party/reading in Canada (next weekend, I believe &#8211; if you&#8217;re in the Vancouver area you should check it out). But, I will be attempting to organize a local reading and signing, since there are several of us locally who have stories in the book. I didn&#8217;t get much response from the big booksellers last year, but I have found a local bookstore that might be amenable. Now that I have info on the book I&#8217;ll head over there sometime and see about scheduling an event.</p>
