I had one story released at the very end of July, but I didn’t realize it was out until my copy of the magazine arrived! “The Price” appeared in the July 2022 issue of New Maps. This is a short flash story involving a bargain and its price. My story out in August is “Memento […]

If you haven’t checked out my Brass and Glass steampunk series, here’s a little reminder that all three books are available in ebook and paperback. Read about the adventures of Captain Svetlana Tereshchenko and her intrepid crew as they search for a cask of whiskey (Brass and Glass: The Cask of Cranglimmering), a map (Brass and Glass […]

I’ve talked about the various cultures by which my various stories and poems in Old Legends and New Fables were inspired, but I’ve also included some that aren’t as easily grouped together. I’ve got a few poems inspired by the legends and fables of the Americas, like the “woman in white” said to haunt the roads […]

Six years ago, I wrote an epistolary novel about a haunted summer camp. Up until this point, the only place it has been available is on Channillo. But I always wanted this to be a book that folks could buy and own, so now it is! Camp Haunt is coming back! The book has undergone minor […]

“Dead Souls” was a story that I wrote specifically for Cobalt City: Dragonstorm, a small anthology of stories about a dragon invasion of Cobalt City that the founder of the shared universe wanted to put together. But the roots of the story came from an earlier Cobalt City story I’d written, “Double Angel,” which introduced Evan […]

“The Toad Catcher’s Wife” was another of my Drawlloween pieces, this one with a prompt of toad. And, as expected, the toad starts out with a witch, but there’s a bit of a twist on the curse placed on this particular toad. It took a bit of work to get this story just right, but […]

My story “A Modern Mary Shelley” was from a Drawlloween prompt of the author’s name. In this case, I wrote a second-person story from the perspective of a student entranced by the odd girl in their class, discovering more and more about her until the final conclusion. One of my favorite lines from this story: […]

The title of my story, “A Burrito is not a Sandwich,” was absolutely meant to be a reference to the ongoing battles over what is and what is not a sandwich. Personally, I subscribe to the cube theory, by which a burrito absolutely is not a sandwich. But what started for me as a story […]

I had two new sci-fi pieces out in July, one poem and one short story! My poem, “The Way Forward is a Maze,” appeared in the Veterans of Alien Wars issue of Eye to the Telescope. I wrote this poem for this call for submissions, and it turned out well. The poem is about how […]

Celtic tales worked their way into three of the poems of Old Legends and New Fables, specifically “A Man of the Earth,” “The Cromlech Glen, and “If You See the Black Dog.” I haven’t been able to retrace the details of the legend that inspired “A Man of the Earth,” but it has some bits in […]
