Leah Bobet - Fiction and other white lies
Welcome!

...to Fiction and Other White Lies, my official-like corner of the web. I'm a Canadian writer of literary science fiction and fantasy with a love for mythic prose and an obsession with the secret hearts of cities. My bibliography, links, happenings, and snippets of writing projects on the go are here; day-to-day stuff, discussion, whimsy, and silliness are located at my journal.

Updated regularly, insofar as interesting and pertinent things happen.

What's that? In the sky?

A Welcome header with some text!

March 21, 2008

Website spring cleaning! Some major revamping of website components tonight: the Bibliography page is now subdivided tidily into short fiction, poetry, and a new subpage for novels, both finished and in progress.

The Appearances page is also updated, and holds what should be my final 2008 convention schedule.

February 18, 2008

More sale news: Poem "Kryptonian International Remembrance Day" will appear in new online magazine Oddlands.

Also, on the Where To Not Go If You're Avoiding Me front, I'll be at this year's Readercon, July 17-20. Eventually I will update the Appearances page to reflect this (and to be actually readable).

February 11, 2008

Another sale! Short story "Furnace Room Lullaby", which originally appeared in Fantasy Magazine issue #5, will be "reprinted" in audio at Pseudopod.

Also, cover art is up for The Mammoth Book of Extreme Fantasy, where "Lost Wax" will be making a reprint appearance. It has joined its merry compatriots on the cover sidebar.

February 3, 2008

Sale news! Short story "Bell, Book, and Candle" will be appearing in Clockwork Phoenix, a new anthology edited by Mike Allen. Publication's tentatively set for Spring 2008.

That, and a review of "The Sorceress's Assistant", added to the Bibliography page.

January 17, 2008

More updates to the Bibliography page: reviews, this time, of "Bears", "Fitcher's Third Wife", and "His Other Wives".

Also, the convention schedule is coming closer to completion. I can say that I will definitely, entirely, totally be at Wiscon 32, May 23-26, in Madison, Wisconsin. Hope to see you there!

January 3, 2008

Sale news again: poem "A Brief History of Night, Before Sleep" will be appearing in a future issue of Chiaroscuro.

ETA, 12:18am: Actually, it appears to be this issue. Fastest sale-to-publication ever. Well...look! Poem!

Also, at some point soon I will sort out my concrete 2008 Public Appearances schedule and put it up here for your delectation, or so you know what places to avoid. Keep watching the skies. *g*

December 9, 2007

Two more sales added to the Bibliography page: "Kimberley Ann Duray Is Not Afraid" (under a different title, when I think up a new title for it) will be in a 2008 issue of Strange Horizons, and "Lost Wax" will be reprinted in The Mammoth Book of Extreme Fantasy in mid-2008. This will probably require me to bribe Amanda for another natty book-cover link on the side there.

Also, I got off my duff finally and changed the Online Fiction. As well as Apres Moi, Le Deluge, two older stories are up now: Midnights on the Bloor Viaduct and Sonnets Made of Wood.

November 18, 2007

More updates to the Bibliography page -- "The Sorceress's Assistant" is in the new issue of On Spec, where I'm fortunate enough to be the Featured Author.

October 31, 2007

Two new pieces hitting print in the next week: "Bears" will be appearing at Strange Horizons on Monday the 5th, and a poem, "Fitcher's Third Wife", is in the current issue of Mythic Delirium, which is mailing to subscribers as we speak. Those updates and a review or two are linked on the Bibliography page.

October 3, 2007

By the good graces of Amanda Downum, web-designer extraordinaire, we have New Website. Yes, the old website was a perfectly good website, but white print on black background -- hacked together with my own ghetto HTML -- is very nineteen, and while I was nineteen when I made it, I am no more.

So welcome to the newest incarnation of Fiction and Other White Lies, poke around, and enjoy!
