edit data

Raised by a cabal of university professors, anthropologists, and irritated librarians, I hold two degrees—a Bachelor of Science and Master of Liberal Arts—as hostages to protect me from being hauled back to the ivory tower.

I was an Escape Pod associate editor for 5 years. I have also dipped my toes into narrating stories for Escape Pod and Pseudopod. I've edited several SF, fantasy, and horror anthologies for a (now shuttered) small press.

I love SF, and always will, but I can't write it to save my life. Horror started flirting with me in High School and we've carried on a passionate affair ever since. I have a great love of short fiction, and I aspire to never write a novel.

S.’s Quotes

“Swoopers write a story quickly, higgledy-piggledy, crinkum-crankum, any which way. Then they go over it again painstakingly, fixing everything that is just plain awful or doesn’t work. Bashers go one sentence at a time, getting it exactly right before they go on to the next one. When they’re done they’re done.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
