“Roadside Assistance” is a flash fiction piece I included in Wreathed in Steam, featuring warring families and queer women. It really wants to be a larger piece of a steampunk Regency setting, along with some of the other stories included in that collection. I haven’t gotten there yet, but I think someday I’m going to take […]

There’s a part of me that never really left her goth phase, and sometimes, that comes out in my poetry. I included twelve of my dark poems in Doorways in the Gloom. They range from somewhat tongue-in-cheek on ghosts and death (like “15 Ghosts” or “Definitely Not Haunted”) to dark fantasy (“The Briar Princess”) to something […]

Have you checked out Unfixed Timelines 3 or the Unfixed Timelines Omnibus yet? The former contains seven stories and one poem, along with essays explaining the history that each piece twists, while the latter collects the first three volumes (more than 20 stories and poems, along with their essays) into one book. Here’s the blurb […]

My flash fiction piece “Vantablack” was, unsurprisingly, inspired by the ridiculous but entertaining artist’s feud over the blackest black. In this story, I combined that with a newly discovered unusual planet and the weird trend of crowd-sourcing names for things. It’s a shock “Planet McPlanety-Face” didn’t win. (I considered it. But I liked my original […]

If you’re looking for a fantasy story or poem to read, here are a few of my recent fantasy publications! Back in March, Wyngraf published my flash fiction story, “The Truth of Their Tunes.” This was a piece inspired by a piece of music, specifically Radiohead’s song “Creep.” Though the lyrics don’t come up in […]

I had three new pieces out in October this year! My flash fiction piece, “The Arroyo Fiasco,” was published in Soul Jar, an anthology of authors with disabilities. My very neurodiverse geyser pterosaur story fits right in with the other stories in this anthology, and I’m so excited to have been included in the anthology and […]

My short story “Asylum” started with the idea of an alien invasion in the past and the people who might resist their alien overlords. The characters wound up being a hodge-podge bunch of humans, none of whom probably ever saw themselves as the sort who might someday save humanity, but when those characters are presented […]

“Intertwined” was my attempt to write a short story that mashed up the Regency period and steampunk. In this story, the main character is a young woman inventor who tires of high society. When she meets a young man with a similar opinion, she is delighted. But things turn quickly … and I’ll leave my […]

My microfiction story, “I Need a Hero,” is a look at a forgotten god who finds herself in need of a champion for the modern age, and finds a way to locate that champion and retain them. Because it’s so short, there’s not much else I can say about it, other than to note that […]
