I got word today that my short story, “Unexpected Sparx,” has been accepted for the Cobalt City: Dark Carnival anthology, which is due out this fall. The anthology is still accepting submissions, and you can find out more here. There are a lot of really great characters that still are waiting for their stories to […]

Having finally had a night to sit and read, I managed to make it through two books! Compared to my usual woefully inadequate book consumption, this is a big accomplishment. It did not, however, make any apparent dent in the stacks of books I still need to read. Nightlight is a Twilight parody, and it […]

I’ve been out of town for a bit, so this is the first chance I’ve had to post here about one of my stories being available online. You can find the story here. This story was originally published in the Steampunk issue of Crossed Genres. It underwent a couple of small revisions before this republication, […]

As part of the lead up to the publication of In Situ, Dagan Books has been publishing interviews with the authors of the stories. My interview is up here. My story for this anthology is in the form of a nineteenth century archaeologist’s field notes/journal. The protagonist, Doctor Taggart, finds a little more than he […]

I posed this question to my writing group last night, which got me some answers, but it also sent us off on wild tangents about 4th person and 5th person (among other things). When writing a story, how do you decide if you want to tell the story in the first person or in the […]

I woke up this morning from a dream about vampires, and I realized by the time I got to work (and was still mulling over the details) that this dream could form the basis of a novel/setting. Because what I really needed to do was go and get myself worked up over writing a vampire […]

It occurred to me earlier today that one of my stories is available online. (It also occurred to me that I should add it to my publications list!) This story was one that I worked on, in two very different versions, for quite a while. I submitted one version of the story to one venue, […]

While I don’t think I’m going to finish one story by the deadline, I managed to sit down last night and bash out a full rough draft of a different story. I think this may be the first time that I’ve gotten an entire first draft out in one sitting. I was listening to a […]

So I’m WAY behind on the whole Harry Potter craze, because I patently refused to read them when they came out, mainly because they were so popular. Yes, I have been known to be rather contrary. 🙂 But now I’m reading Deathly Hallows, and I’m almost to the point where I’ll be able to say […]
