Now Available: Gubmint Girl
Gubmint Girl is now available at a wide variety of online retailers. This sociopolitical Dystopia has an interesting back story. Queenie, the narrator, came to me one night as I was going to bed after a long few days of writing. I could not get her out of my head so that I could sleep, […]

The July 2021 Issue of the Newsletter
This month's issue of the newsletter is out! Since July is the birthday of my country of birth, I got a tad political in there. And as predicted, there's been a little blowback. One person likened this month's commentary to an uneducated, right-wing rant. Since I'm on neither the right nor the […]

SciFi Explosion
I'm participating in a group promo over at StoryOrigin with some really cool indie authors, like Lindsay Buroker, Chris Lowry, Patty Jansen, Steve Ruskin, and C. Gockel. Most of the stories are short, singular introductions to various Science Fiction story worlds. One notable entry, however, is Star Rebels, an anthology of SciFi short stories written […]

Stories on Wattpad
Wattpad is on the verge of being sold. Generally speaking, transfers of such kinds are not good for authors. Witness what happened when Disney bought the Star Wars franchise. To avoid any potential problems, I have removed all of my stories from Wattpad, including “Time after Time.” The story is still available in Romancing the […]

“Decoration Day” Is Now Available
"Decoration Day," a finalist in the 2019 Rash Award in Fiction, is now available in the 2020 issue (Volume 52) of the Broad River Review. "Decoration Day" was inspired in part by my days as a genealogist, when I spent a great deal of time surveying local cemeteries. It's told from the point of view […]

Silver Birds
It is no secret that I love visiting airports just to watch planes come and go. A few months ago, I also made the happy discovery that I write quite well during the lulls between takeoffs and landings. I've even written an entire short story while plane spotting. What can I say? Airports are one […]
