I’m happy to announce that “The Fortuitous Meeting of Gerard van Oost and Oludara” appears on Rachel Swirsky’s 2011 Novelette Recommendations.
Once again, many thanks to Rachel. It’s quite an honor to have my work recognized by such a talented writer and editor, and an honor to have it listed among that amazing group of stories.
This was a great week for the Elephant and Macaw Banner, with the Brazilian launch of “The Fortuitous Meeting of Gerard van Oost and Oludara”. It kept me busy with three interviews and my first ever book signing.
Below I’ve included some pictures of the events.

It was a night to remember.
Many thanks to everyone who participated!
Although it’s already in stores around Brazil, the official launch of the book Duplo Fantasia Heroica, featuring “The Fortuitous Meeting of Gerard van Oost and Oludara” is lined up for next week.
I’ll be doing an autograph session at Livraria Cultura in Porto Alegre, but the other author, Roberto de Sousa Causo, unfortunately can’t attend.
Thanks again to Causo and Devir and everyone else who made this happen!
Better late than never… This week I discovered that Rachel Swirsky gave a wonderful review to “The Fortutious Meeting of Gerard van Oost and Oludara” last year.
Rachel wrote: “While the story felt like a set-up for a novel, it also felt satisfying–the major plot points that were set up were also addressed. The characters were ready to adventure, but I felt like I’d had a satisfying taste of their lives. I’m looking forward to the whole novel “meal,” but I’m happy with the flavorful forkful I got.”

Thanks so much, Rachel! The “meal” is on its way. 🙂
