I’ve recently published my third book for younger readers to read, so it’s time to update this list! The Spiders of the Shifting Swamp is my children’s picture book that I also illustrated! It’s a fantasy story in which spiders run a shop and interact with other swamp creatures. The reading level is about right […]

Publishing sometimes slows down a bit toward the end of the year, but I had a couple of pieces out this past month! “Don’t Count Your Sprite Shards Before They’re Caged” is a sort of steampunk flash fiction piece that was published in Factor Four.

“The Wearisome Worry of the Wily Waif” is the sole Marsh sisters story I’ve written that has not been picked up for publication. But I included it in C. and M.

Cross and Circle takes place in December and January, with Christmas and other holidays in the background of the story, but still a part of it.

This past month saw publication of a short story, a couple of pieces of flash fiction, and a poem! “Chrysopoeia,” a flash fiction piece about a charlatan and the person who reveals him for what he really is, appeared in The Dire Dark, which is an anthology of dark fantasy pieces. My short story “Easy […]

I always like to mention my novella, Cross and Circle, around the holidays because that’s when it takes place. The story begins at the end of the fall semester and progresses through December and into January. Although there’s not much holiday celebrating that happens on-screen in this novella, it’s still set at the right time of […]
