The story “Fire Bad” in Intercity Illusions is one of my stories told from the perspective of an animal–in this case, a cat. It also shares a similarity with another of my stories, in that it espouses the idea that perhaps cats were once dragons. “Fire Bad” is a very short flash fiction piece, fairly simple […]

“Earworm” was a story I wrote for a very specific anthology call that involved “space opera” in a more literal sense than the genre typically means. So my main character was the alien beatbox for an operatic vocal group. As I’ve talked about before, the inspiration for the story was related to K-pop videos, even […]

I had two very short pieces out in December 2021. You can find “First Rights” in the December issue of Utopia Science Fiction. This is a flash fiction piece involving space salvage and a reunion between former lovers. The other story is “Seeds of Knowledge,” which appeared at Theme of Absence. This one is a […]

Another one of my Drawlloween stories, I have vague memories of “Maija Spencer, Internet Witch” being written either on a plane or in a car (the plane while moving or the car while parked) on a trip to Missouri in 2018. Either way, I wrote it quickly and then cleaned it up later. It’s still, […]

“One-Tenth” was one of my early attempts at writing science fiction that had a solid science background behind it. It also involved more math than I enjoy. But the end result turned out pretty good, presenting a statistician with an ethical challenge: how do you choose who lives and who dies when supplies are inadequate […]

Sometimes, you’ve just got to write a silly story with talking birds and poop as the punchline. And that is, in its essence, “The Sky Rock.” It’s a very irreverent look at what Huginn and Muninn, Odin’s ravens, might get up to while they’re surveying the world for their boss. It’s a slightly different tone […]
