Fiction
At Author's Site: "Fate" by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. Fantasy.
"She held a deck of cards in her left hand and cut it easily, sliding the top of the deck to the bottom. Her skin was pale white, her hair even whiter, and she wore a backless white evening dress. Grif could almost imagine her in the glassed-in cage on the lower levels, astride the white tigers."
At The Colored Lens: "Diffusion – Part 2" by Andrew Tisbert. science Fiction.
"Billy watched as his clone looked down into the car. It felt as if time had stopped, as if the hail had become suspended in the cold gray air. Then the soldier looked away and disappeared."
At Daily Science Fiction: "The Show Must" by Matt London.
"The soles of the dance shoes on Joan Jansen's feet were scored and coated with countless layers of rosin. She bent the shoes up and down, stretching the fabric, and inside, her feet. What else could she do? That was her routine"
At Lightspeed: "An Accounting" by Brian Evenson. Fantasy.
"I have been ordered to write an honest accounting of how I became a Midwestern Jesus and the subsequent disastrous events thereby accruing, events for which I am, I am willing to admit, at least partly to blame. I know of no simpler way than to simply begin."
At Lightspeed: "The Perfect Match" by Ken Liu. Science Fiction.
"Sai woke to the rousing first movement of Vivaldi’s violin concerto in C minor, “Il Sospetto.” He lay still for a minute, letting the music wash over him like a gentle Pacific breeze. The room brightened as the blinds gradually opened to the sunlight. Tilly had woken him right at the end of a light sleep cycle, the optimal time. He felt great: refreshed, optimistic, ready to jump out of bed."
At The World SF Blog: "Ceremony of Innocence" by Armando Salinas.
"The rooms below were mostly dark and smelled. Damp melanomas stained the walls. Arthritic cables, knotted and almost fossilized with dust, crawled out of holes in the ceiling with naked light bulbs hanging like fruit. Whatever poor lighting there was, though, came mostly from the phosphorescent graffiti scribbled on every inch of wall. Occasionally, cheap portraits of saints and wooden crucifixes eclipsed the glowing artwork"
At Weird Fiction Review: "The Engine of Desire" by Livia Llewellyn. Horror.
"Megan pulls the empty wine glass from her husband’s limp hand. His fingers brush the shag of the living room floor, sway to the sleepy sigh of his breath. Clocks tick in the kitchen and hallways, and when she places the glass on the coffee table, the clink against the wood shoots like a falling star through the silent house. Outside, in the neighborhood, the engine throbs and waits."

Hi Dave
I've asked Amazon to make my new e-book "For Odin, for Thor, for Asgard" free for the next 5 days (from 12.01am 5 DEcember US Pacific Time).
It's short stories about the norse gods as very powerful, cosmically aware entities in very cosmic settings.
This should be the link: http://www.amazon.com:80/dp/B00AHNE27W
Cheers
Thanks, I just linked it!
