  <title>New fiction by me</title>

  <description>My short story &lt;a href=&quot;http://emg-zine.com/item.php?id=636&quot;&gt;The Dragon of Gettysburg&lt;/a&gt; appears in this month&apos;s dragon-themed issue of &lt;a href=&quot;http://emg-zine.com/&quot;&gt;EMG-zine&lt;/a&gt;. (Due to violent/gory content, you&apos;ll need to &lt;a href=&quot;http://emg-zine.com/account.php&quot;&gt;register&lt;/a&gt; on the &apos;zine&apos;s website and then set &quot;View Questionable Content&quot; to &quot;true&quot; in order to read it.) &quot;The Dragon of Gettysburg&quot; is about 1000 words and, as well as being a stand-alone story, is also backstory for a character in the novel that I&apos;m currently working on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A teaser snippet, with a bit of the aforementioned gore:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://layla.dreamwidth.org/174886.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Snippet from &apos;The Dragon of Gettysburg&apos;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also have a story called &quot;Those Who Favor Fire&quot; in the erotic e-anthology &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.circlet.com/?p=944&quot;&gt;Like a Mask Removed: Volume 2&lt;/a&gt; (superhero/supervillain-themed adult fiction). There&apos;s a list of places to buy it in the link, including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003DKJBEK&quot;&gt;Amazon (Kindle)&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fictionwise.com/ebooks/b106643/Erotic-Tales-of-Supervillains-/Bethany-Zaiatz/??r=3a22&quot;&gt;Fictionwise (multiple e-formats)&lt;/a&gt;. (Notice that there are &lt;i&gt;two&lt;/i&gt; books and my story is in the second volume, the supervillain one, with the red-and-black cover. The blue cover is the first volume and not the one with my story in it. Not that I&apos;m trying to discourage anyone from buying the other one, of course!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Those Who Favor Fire&quot; is about 3000 words long and features original superhero/supervillain characters (i.e. not specific ones from the Marvel or DC universes). A teaser snippet: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___2&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://layla.dreamwidth.org/174886.html#cutid2&quot;&gt;Snippet from &apos;Those Who Favor Fire&apos; (basically work-safe, though the story itself decidedly is not)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___2&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=layla&amp;ditemid=174886&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>

  <description>Jamie Smith of &lt;a href=&quot;http://inksnow.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;Ink &amp; Snow&lt;/a&gt; did &lt;a href=&quot;http://inksnow.blogspot.com/2009/06/guest-artist-layla-lawlor.html&quot;&gt;a nice write-up&lt;/a&gt; on the talk I gave to his art class on Tuesday evening. Jamie is a friend from school who&apos;s been doing a weekly gag cartoon for the News-Miner going on ... fifteen years now, I think? &lt;a href=&quot;http://picasaweb.google.com/moosenuggets0&quot;&gt;A gallery of some of his work is online.&lt;/a&gt; He&apos;s damn talented and has a wonderfully distinctive style. There are a lot of artists in Fairbanks, but very few people doing cartoony or graphic-design-type stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=layla&amp;ditemid=159499&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
