“The Balance Between Us” Published in Sidekicks!
The road to this publication has been long, winding and fascinating. I first learned about theSidekicks!anthology after attending Context 25 in Columbus last year.

Looking Back on 2012
Like a lot of writers that I follow on Twitter and Facebook, I’ve decided to take a look back on 2012 in regards to my writing career. This means examining the numbers as well as a brief moment to recount how much I learned and experienced over the course of the year. First, the …

“A Reason to Linger” Published in At Year’s End: Holiday SFF Stories
I have to admit this is one of my favorite stories that I’ve written over the past few years. It’s short and tight and was really a blast to write and brainstorm. ”A Reason to Linger” can now be found in At Year’s End: Holiday SFF Stories, the e-book anthology that Kazka Press published on …
