“Eorapter, the Dawn-Plunderer” Published in Kasma SF
Look at that artwork. Just look at it. The level of detail, especially in the background, is so astounding. This is part of the reason I love, love, love to have my stories published at Kasma SF. José Baetas does some incredible things and I always love seeing what he comes up with for my […]

“Nobody Puts Baby in a Chamber” Published in Mothership Zeta, Issue 3
I don’t often write fun stories, so this story may come as a surprise to anyone who reads my work with any consistency. I could explain it, but I’ll let Mothership Zeta’s Assistant Editor, Sunil Patel, explain the story for me… So, yeah. That. You knew I liked robots, but I bet you didn’t know […]

“Emerson’s Shadow” Published in Spark: A Creative Anthology, Volume VII

So I’m happy to be back here today to tell you about a new story I have out, just published in Spark: A Creative Anthology, Volume VII. “Emerson’s Shadow” was yet another Story-a-Day May story.

2015 Award Eligible Stories
It appears to be that time of year again–when people are reading and recommending stories for various awards and whatnot. I’m terrible at self-promotion, but I thought the least I could do was put together a handy little post with all of my award-eligible stories from 2015. I’ve added excerpts just because they’re fun! So […]

“Possessed of a Fierce Violence” Published in Page & Spine
“Possessed of a Fierce Violence” is an extremely brief (and violent!) story, published last month at Page & Spine. It’s free to read here. (TW: violence, gore) This story was written during the Story-a-Day May challenge. Sometimes I like to sit down with a first line, in this case… Sing me the song of your […]

“When the INVADER Comes” Published in Zetetic
1. Don’t Open Your Eyes Sweet one, your mind will scream as the animal instinct in you comes alive. It will demand you open your eyes. It will demand you see your attacker. Remember what I showed you. Remember all the times we practiced. Don’t stop practicing when I am gone. Every day when you […]

“Some Men Break” Published in Daily Science Fiction
He had a driftwood heart; he had sleepy-ocean eyes. I lifted my bloodied head from the sand and there he was, standing on spindly branching legs. Battered wreckage that had long since been washed thin and worn by the waves. I felt the pound of the surf in my temple, in my throat, in my […]

“Coming Undone” Published in Apex, Issue 75
The writing journey has been, at times, a slow one. I have inched along, slowly gaining progress, gaining purchase on an uneven path. I don’t think I will have ever arrived, because–in my mind at least–there is no such thing. There’s no point at which I will level out and stop learning. At least, I […]

Review: The End of the Trail by Louis Rakovich
It’s been a long time since I stopped in here for another book/story review, but I’m happy to bring you news of a new novelette from author Louis Rakovich. I’ve read and enjoyed Louis’ short stories before and was eager to get a chance to read this dark tale. Before I tell you what I […]
