#ForewordFaceOff Interview

We also recognize that in order to fight for your values you must first be able to articulate them. My favorite response to the Writers Resist event came from an attendee who walked in with skepticism. He thought there was little use in preaching to the choir. In the end, he found a lot of value in publicly and collectively affirming our beliefs and our commitment to fighting for them.

(I said.)

Thank you to Foreword Reviews for interviewing us about Who Will Speak for America? Read the whole piece here.

Readercon Schedule

Posted on

I’m looking forward to my first Readercon next month! Here’s my schedule:

Panel: Defying the Pigeonhole
Thursday, 9pm. Blue Hills.

“This panel of readers will celebrate favorite authors who can’t be contained by a single genre—some exploring multiple genres within one work, some dipping in and out of them throughout their careers—and talk about the ways they break free of expectations to soar.”

With Marissa Lingen, Michael Dirda, Chandler Klang Smith, and Ellen Datlow.

Reading
Friday, 7pm. Salon B.

I plan on reading both published and new material.

“The Barrens” on the May Short Fiction Roundup

Posted on

The Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog has included “The Barrens” in its May 2018 roundup of short fiction:

“The Barrens” is a haunting, complex tale, simultaneously frightening and strangely uplifting. Feldman skillfully draws together the treacherous physical world of the Barrens with the shifting inner landscape of the mind of a teen headed into adulthood. There are chilling scenes of horror, vividly drawn characters, and music that serves both as a beacon and bait. Common coming-of-age fears—what to do when high school is over, how to avoid losing touch with friends when you move away, how to find your place in the world—are woven together with the literal monsters lurking in the woods.

Read the whole list here. The issue is currently available for purchase in most Barnes & Nobles as well as online. Electronic versions are available worldwide from Weightless Books, as well as from Amazon (US) and Amazon (UK).

Interview with the F&SF Blog

Usually my process is thorny and angst-ridden, but I had so much fun writing this story. Maybe it comes back to my inspiration—the reckless energy of the music—or maybe it was imagining those kids speeding through the dark woods, both hunter and hunted. It was all adventure. (The characters would likely disagree.)
