My story, “His Sweet Truffle of a Girl,” is about a Victorianesque mushroom inventor and his not-quite-seaworthy enormous fungal bathysphere. One of my most recent sales was to the FUNGI anthology, edited by Orrin Grey and Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I don’t necessarily end up writing a piece appropriate to the anthology that sparked it, but if somebody out there says she’s seeking stories about robot archaeologists planning end-of-millennium tea-parties on the moon, my brain is going to start concocting something. I’ve always used open anthology calls as story cues. The air in Portland is the greenest urban air I’ve ever smelled, all chlorophyll and flower petals and dirt. Where are you from and what’s your favorite thing about where you live? My book, my poems, and my stories have all been nominated for awards they didn’t win.Ģ. My stories appear alongside the usual suspects (in Fantasy Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock’s and Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazines) and some unusual ones ( Machine of Death, Toasted Cake, and Imaginarium 2012: The Best Canadian Speculative Writing). I grew up in Austin, Texas, graduated from the University of Toronto in Ontario, and now live mostly in Portland, Oregon in an Edwardian home down the street from a volcano. I was born in Los Angeles to parents of British/Caribbean and Scandinavian/ Irish descent. Read her interview to find out about her writing, what her real hair color is (or maybe not), the submissions deadline for her latest anthology, and more! I’m happy to welcome Camille Alexa today. Originally published at finding my words.
