My next collection, Dead-Starred Futures, is out August 15, 2023, and it’s time to reveal the cover! This collection is all tiny pieces–flash fiction down to drabbles and poetry, so it will be a quick read but bursting with all sorts of dystopian and post-apocalyptic science fiction. It’s a darker counterpart to Droplets from the Universe. Visions […]

I’ve had a number of new and reprinted urban fantasy pieces come out since my last post on the subject. Here’s where you can find them! “Hashtag TPE,” which originally appeared in It Came from Miskatonic University, was reprinted in LOLCraft: A Compendium of Eldritch Humor. This is an entertaining look at a college campus tour when […]

My story “Muss” is the story of a girl and her familiar, but it’s also a story about growing up and responsibility, like a number of my stories with younger protagonists are. It’s both sweet and bittersweet, and it presents the protagonist with multiple overt challenges, along with one less obvious challenge. And it’s the […]

“Mind the Gap” was written to a prompt about voids, so I decided to combine the void of “the gap” with another void. If you’re not familiar with the phrase “Mind the Gap,” it’s an announcement made in London in Tube stations. It may be used elsewhere as well, but I know it from British […]

I only had one story out in May 2023, and it’s a reprint, but it’s definitely worth checking out this story’s new home! My story, “Turning the Tide,” which first appeared at Daily Science Fiction, can now be found among other dark military sci-fi stories in Dread Space 2! My story is a very short flash piece […]
