Publication Alert & Pushcart Nomination

I’m thrilled to announce that Tales of the Strange, a Writer’s Workout Anthology will be released on December 9th. You can pre-order the ebook at Amazon now. (Print on release day.)

The book includes a poignant little story of mine called “Adrift,” that explores loss and grief in an unexpected and mystical way. If you need further encouragement to pick up a copy and read it, “Adrift” also features both murderous and friendly sea monsters. And I think we all know that sea monsters make any story better!

I’m also very appreciative that the amazing folks at the Writer’s Workout, have nominated “Adrift” for a 2023 Pushcart Prize. Being published is an amazing thing, knowing the venue enjoyed your words enough that they are willing to share them with the world. It’s humbling for that same publisher to choose your story as one of the their very best and favorite pieces out of the stories they’ve loved and published over the year. Thank you WW!

While you are waiting for your copy to arrive, check out the other books in the Writer’s Workout “Tales” series. They are really fun themed anthologies, and proceeds help a great organization provide resources, workshops, contests, etc. for the writing community. If you grab “Tales from the Cliff” (all stories that end on cliffhangers!) you’ll get another story from yours truly–“Nor’easter”–a creepy little tale that will make you check to make sure you locked your doors before going to sleep.
