Magazine Review: freeze frame fiction, volume ii
I love reading. I love getting wrapped up in a story. But I don’t always have a ton of time to devote to getting absorbed in a novel–especially when I’m writing stories of my own. So magazines like freeze frame fiction hit the absolute sweet spot, delivering excellent stories in small fragments that I can […]

“Be Not Unequally Yoked” Published in Shimmer #23
Things used to be pure inside me. Separated. When I was a boy, I was wholly a boy. When I was a horse, I was wholly a horse. Things used to be simple inside me. I was all one thing or I was all another. And the two only got close when the change was […]

2014 Year in Review
2014 is slowly drawing to a close, so it’s about time I did my annual “year in review” blog post! The end/start of the year is a great time to reevaluate my progress, my goals, to remember how far I’ve come and how far I have yet to go. So enough chatter, here we go! […]

Last week, I started what I hope will be a long-running thing on my blog — interviews with Plasma Frequency authors. I’ll be interviewing one or two of Plasma Frequency‘s authors from every issue. Questions will generally revolve pretty closely around the stories we publish, but may deviate to allow us to get to know […]

QuarterReads
Yesterday, a pretty neat new site launched for writers and readers. It’s called QuarterReads. The premise is simple: authors upload their works and readers pay 25 cents to read whatever story piques their interest. Authors get a majority of that 25 cents, and there’s also a tip jar for each story, with 100% of those […]

“That’s Blood” Published in Every Day Fiction.
That’s blood. Family. I don’t have to look in a mirror to see the connection. He’s got my eyes — olive green with an inner ring of brown radiating out from the pupil. I guess it’d be more accurate to say I’ve got his eyes. The realization makes me recoil. Every week I usually […]

Three Things I Write & Three Thing I Don’t
A few eons ago, my wonderful friend–a very talented writer/editor–Rhonda Parrish tagged me in a bloghop going around dealing with, you guessed it, three things I write and three things I don’t write. It sounded like a lot of fun, I’ve just had a very busy summer and am only just now getting around to […]
