My story of professional wrestling Work, Shoot, Hook, Rip, originally from Ellen Datlow's Nightmare Carnival (which you should totally buy for Nathan Ballingrud's "Skullpocket") is now live on The Big Click, which is running a Jason Ridler guest-edited pro wrestling issue. Share with your friends, and subscribe please, thanks! It's not a huge deal as the Click is a hobby, but right now income pays for perhaps a single issue of the six we do a year. Buying ebook issues and subscribing would be a great way to read a few crime stories from writers new and established, and would certainly help me out. We always pay on time!
Speaking of short fiction, this came in three months early:

The Mammoth Book of Dieselpunk includes my novelette "We Never Sleep", which is a thematic sequel of sorts of my steampunk novelette "Arbeitskraft" from a few years ago. The book is out in July.
Hugo awards will be announced soon. Looks like the so-called Sad Puppies slate has swept several of the minor/vulnerable categories. As I said last year, this is the clear end result of self-hype for awards and fan-voting for Loudest Blogger, so really the people in knots over it have only themselves to blame. This is especially true of the latest Puppies iteration, which got almost no traction until whiny liberals started making a big deal of it—then the major right-wing bloggers who had been responding with a "there there" head pat to their junior pal got to promoting the slate, even getting it to brietbart.com.
When something is failing, let it fail.
I'm definitely going to start banging the drum for "We Never Sleep" immediately. (I couldn't bring myself to do it for "Arbeitskraft" and it missed the ballot by seven votes if I remember correctly.) It's a Stirneresque war of all against all now.
