News: August 2013
Well, July brought with it good news and bad. We'll start with the bad, get it out of the way and clear the air. Toward the end of the month, I was informed that An Honest Lie Vol. 4, which was set to feature my short story "Salvage," was being put on indefinite production hold and that Open Heart Publishing was closing shop effective immediately. This wasn't wholly unexpected, given the missed deadlines and lack of communication. It does, however, mean that "Salvage" is free again, and I have begun submitting the story to other markets in earnest.
And now the good news: My short story "The Zumundo Cog," which previously appeared in the November-December 2008 issue of the preeminent steampunk magazine The Willows and in the fantastic anthology Penny Dread Tales Vol. 1 from Rune Wright, will be reprinted a third time in the steampunk magazine Professor Dobbs' Literary Primer for the Extraordinary.

More information about the issue will be posted when its official release date has been announced.
Finally, the August 2013 issue of Columbia will feature my third cover story -- a photo essay about the Global Wheelchair Mission. Accompanied by beautiful photography by
That's all for this month. Until next time, thanks for reading!

Trumpet blare!
It is with great joy that I announce that I have signed a book contract with Hazardous Press to have my debut book published. Later this year will see the release of The Horse Thieves and Other Tales of the New West. The next few months will likely be a whirlwind of editing and other duties as I develop cover art with my hired artist and prep the book for publication. The release date is TBD.
With an editorial shift at FictionMagazines.com, the release date of PRIMER, which was set to feature my short story, "The Zumundo Cog," has been pushed back to an as-yet-undetermined date. Since the cover art for the magazine was so cool, I can only hope that things get back on track soon; I'd love to see that magazine in print.
With all the excitement of the past month, I've been trying to work as steadily as possible, writing in the morning or on my lunch hour when a.m. time isn't an option. I'm proud to say that I've made some good progress on my YA sci-fi novel and have been "living" regularly in the book's universe so that I can do some serious world-building and character development.
Speaking of character development, I will have an article published on the topic in the November issue of The Writer, one of the industry's biggest trade magazines.
