I’m super excited about the Kickstarter for Paradoxical Pets because I’ve got a story in this anthology! The anthology is, as expected, about unusual pets and other animals, but it’s also specifically for younger readers! For me, this meant I got to write a cute little story about a girl and her dog … which might […]

“The Recondite Riddle of the Rose Rogue” was the first story I had published, so it’s got a very warm place in my heart. It’s the first story of Chrysanthemum and Marigold Marsh and the mechanical garden they live in. The mechanical garden was inspired by a friend’s child mishearing “botanical garden” as “mechanical garden,” […]

I have two post-apocalyptic novellas: Scenes from a Quiet Apocalypse and Barren. The former is a much more recent apocalypse, one that hits just before the book begins. The latter is an apocalypse that hit within the main character’s lifetime, but she’s lived in a post-apocalyptic world for longer than she spent in the pre-apocalyptic world. If […]

“Memorandum from the Panel for the Identification of Consequentially Chosen Youth” is not the longest title I’ve written, but it’s among them. But this flash fiction piece needed a slightly ridiculous title to go with the tongue-in-cheek “PICCY” organization detailing what should and should not be done when you’re looking for a Chosen One. The […]

For the first time in a long while, I don’t have any new stories or poems out in the past month! But not to fear, there will be more new pieces coming soon. So in the meantime, I did have a new book out this month: Camp Haunt. Which is actually a re-release of sorts, since […]

In addition to the two longer stories in Avatar of Freya, I also included two flash fiction pieces featuring Friday Jones and friends! “Friday Jones’ Helpful Advice for Preventing Your Super-Genius Roommate from Becoming a Supervillain” features Friday and her college roommate, Janella, aka Johnny Turbo, who is a mechanical genius with a super suit she […]

My young adult epistolary horror novella, Camp Haunt, is out today, in print and ebook for the first time! Camp Haunt started out as a serial epistolary novel on Channillo, which I wrote in 2016 and just into the beginning of 2017. At one point, I thought I might completely rewrite it as a novella […]

If you’re a sci-fi fan, I’ve got a sci-fi collection that might appeal to you! New Moons Under Which to Sleep contains previously published sci-fi short stories, flash fiction pieces, and a couple of poems, plus a couple of pieces that were new to the collection. My other recent sci-fi publications are: “Slime, or Primordial […]

“Coffin Coffee Table” is a story that I like to include in my readings because the twist gets people every time. I often introduce it as a story about carpentry and consent, which is both entirely true, and only the half of it. The idea of building a coffee table in the shape of a […]

My story “Blind Tasting” grew out of a prompt, a color, and a music video. I can’t recall exactly what the prompt was, but the color was indigo, and the music video involved two people in an otherwise deserted wine bar. My story involved a blind date in a similarly deserted wine bar, which lent […]
