If you’re looking for something spooky to read for Halloween (or leading up to it), here’s a few of my recent dark publications. My drabbles, “The Problem with Schematics” and “Litany,” appeared in the Dark Stars anthology, which is a collection of dark sci-fi drabbles from Shacklebound Books. One involves a ship that should not […]

I had two new publication in September of this year, both fantasy stories. My short story, “Kick in the Door and Improvise,” appeared in volume 11 of Tales from the Magician’s Skull. The title is taken from the common “plan” we use in a lot of our tabletop RPGs, to the point that I cross-stitched […]

My friend Raven Oak is currently running a Kickstarter for The Bell Ringer and Other Holiday Tales, a collection of art and short stories with a holiday theme. The art is absolutely gorgeous, and having read some of Raven’s stories in the past, the stories are certain to be equally great! This Kickstarter is a very […]

“Just Smile” is one of a handful of yokai stories I’ve written, generally during Drawlloween (an October art challenge that I use for writing prompts). I really love the different types of monsters that different cultures develop, because it gives a bit of insight into that culture’s fears that people might not otherwise talk about. […]

Of the stories in Droplets from the Universe, “Aethervirales” appears on first glance to be the least suited to collection of joyful and humorous sci-fi. After all, it begins with a murdered person. But I included it in this collection because the protagonist of the story solves the case and has a happy ending. As the […]

Have you had a chance to check out Dead-Starred Futures yet? It’s filled with very short stories and poems, all along the theme of dystopian sci-fi. The stories are generally dark, though there’s occasional humor interspersed with the darkness. Dead-Starred Futures is available in ebook only, wherever you like to buy ebooks!

I’ve got several books for kids, including steampunk and fantasy! The Trouble with the Tick-Tock Tabby is a middle grade book featuring girl detectives Chrysanthemum and Marigold Marsh. The setting is a steampunk Victorian era. The characters are 9 and 12 years old, which skews toward the younger end of middle grade, but the reading level […]

On October 17, I’ll have two new books out! Unfixed Timelines 3 is the third in my series of alternate/fantastical history stories accompanied by essays about the history that each story alters. A Wild West icon meets her match, a budding scientist tests a theory in a dust storm, fashion turns deadly, a daughter learns the […]

I had a couple of new things out in August this year! The first is that my flash fiction story, “The Truth of Their Tunes,” was reprinted in The Little Cozy Book from Wyngraf, who originally published this story on their website. Now it’s collected with other cozy fantasy stories! The second is my dystopian sci-fi […]

“Leaders and Followers” is a story I wrote in an attempt to conceal information about the first-person narrator. I can’t say too much more about that goal without giving away the twist in the story, but it’s a fairly short, cozy, fantasy story, and I was pleased at how it turned out. “Leaders and Followers” […]
