| Name: | Sarah Avery |
| Bio: | This blog is mostly about writing and teaching, with the occasional vignette or bit of news about other parts of my life.
I'm an escaped academic, a grown-up army brat, a writer, an ambivalently entrepreneurial private tutor, a new mother, a longtime wife, an initiated Wiccan priestess, and, it now seems, a committed blogger.
I have the longest attention span you'll find anywhere outside a Buddhist monastery.
My poetry has appeared in Calyx, Feminist Studies, Free Lunch, and Beloit Poetry Journal.
In my other life, when I was a scholar, I gave papers at the annual conferences of the Modern Language Association and the American Academy of Religion. I gave a paper at the Parliament of the World's Religions once, but I was scheduled opposite the Dalai Lama. Seriously, if you had to choose, would you go to hear the grad student from New Jersey, or the Dalai Lama? Yeah, me too.
For the past five years, I've been writing fantasy with the intent to publish, and in 2007 I finally sold some short things, which should see print in 2008.
Two contemporary fantasies with a comic twist, Closing Arguments and Atlantis Cranks Need Not Apply will be coming out from Drollerie Press. A sword-and-sorcery short story, "The War of the Wheat Berry Year," will be in a forthcoming issue of Black Gate. |
