Sometimes he's a shed

	"Silverfin Harbor." AEon, forthcoming. In my mind, Sully is more beautiful than she could have been. When all I have left are dry facts (she was dark, she existed), I have to fill in the gaps. Concretely piece her together in my mind, and I know I will get her wrong.
	"Facts of Bone." GUD Magazine #3, Autumn 2008, forthcoming. Jules stripped to her underwear, dusted herself with powder and stepped into the stretchy flying suit.
	"Birthday Wish." Flash. Podcastle, forthcoming. "But I like riding on dinosaurs better than dumb old minivans," said Benji.
	"A Day Out, with Stereoscopes." Birkensnake, July 2008, issue #1. Here is the first joke of Betty L. Duncan. Why do the three-eyed aliens bank on the moon? Because there is not enough sun to go around. Press the blue button when you have finished laughing.
	"The Bitrunners." Helix #9, Summer 2008. The thing about Mars is, they catch you when you yoink stuff.
	"On the Eyeball Floor." Strange Horizons, 2 June 2008. (Read it in their archive.) We've got robotic arms to put the eyeballs in. Metal clamps to pull down the eyelids. "Connolly's story is written with a keen ear for language and presents some fascinating imagery and ideas. She is definitely a writer to keep an eye on." -- Jason Sanford, The Fix.
	"The Salivary Reflex." GUD Magazine #2, Spring 2008. (adult content) The translucent knobs on the ends of their limbs reminded her of Jell-O, and she tried very hard not to wonder how they tasted. "Tina Connolly offers a story rich in the sensual details of smell and taste. Connolly has a keen eye for the details of changing relationships and desires...." -- Rosanne Rabinowitz, The Fix. "At times this tale of detached strangeness reminded me of Kelly Link's fiction. Allison is wonderfully drawn, as are her husband Tom and friend Paul, and the aliens are used in an intriguing and unusual manner to complete her story." -- Shaun C. Green, Nostalgia for Infinity.
	"The Goats are Going Places." Shiny #2, Dec 2007. "Oy," said Ryder. "That's how Group dynamics are. You have to play people. You're too old to get it." "The second issue of the Australian YA zine Shiny again features three fine stories, and again my favorite was the most light-hearted: Tina Connolly's 'The Goats Are Going Places' is something of a sendup of YA hits like Gossip Girl...." -- Rich Horton of Locus. "...its stylish language and fun storyline make it an enjoyable tale..." -- Daniel Ausema, The Fix.
	"Moon at the Starry Diner." Heliotrope Magazine #3, Nov 2007. (Read it in their archive.) "I love a bear," repeated Jem. She toyed with her paper napkin. "Except sometimes he's a Volvo, or a Venus Flytrap, or a shed. How can anyone love a shed? He wasn't even waterproof."
	"Sufficient Cause." The Town Drunk, May 2007. (Read it in their archive.) "It has to be healthy, or the pissu wouldn't give it to me," pointed out Howie. "It only gives out approved substances." "Tina Connolly made me laugh with her clever use of acronyms and savage satire in 'Sufficient Cause.'" -- Carole Ann Moleti of Tangent.
	"A Memory of Seafood." Yog's Notebook, Spring 2007. A memory of seafood. (That sounds like one of those divine collections, doesn't it, like a flight of starlings or a murder of crows? I remember when I was a mere seventeen, a slight but fully breasted slip of a girl, my best girl chums and I used to entertain the governor as he waited for his tea at the old tea house on Front Street -- you Oolong afficionados, you remember it -- and he affectionately called us "a flirtation of jailbaits" -- but that's neither here nor there.) "I quite liked 'A Memory of Seafood', by Tina Connolly, a deadpan restaurant review, its effect arising from the nature of the dish served." -- Rich Horton of Locus.
	"It Could Happen." The Town Drunk, 21 Sept 2006. (Read it in their archive.) "Smart, assured, and wry, this is a great story about a man who writes terrible ones. Recommended." -- Alasdair Stuart of Tangent
	"A Buildup of Days." Son and Foe Vol. 1 Issue 1, Winter 2005. (Read it in their archive. Or, available to include in a POD book at Anthology Builder.) Janice Clark at Tangent: "There are far too many excellent stories here for me to even attempt to pick a favorite." Joules Taylor at the SF Crowsnest: "Then there's the extraordinary 'A Buildup of Days' by Tina Connolly."
	"Love at Second Sight." Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine #18, Apr/May 2005. Tangent reviewer Matthew M. Foster says: "'Love at Second Sight' is fast-paced and a lot of fun. I haven't a single criticism of what Connolly put on paper, finding wit and a sense of joy in her sentence." And from ASif reviewer Talie Helene: "A sweet light-hearted romance, exploring overcoming shyness and inhibitions, and hang-ups about 'small wings.'"
	"Frigicide." Nocturnal Ooze, Mar 2004. "In the Constant Image." Aoife's Kiss #10, Sept 2004.
