I’ve just starting tackling Wonderbook as my next craft book read, and though I’ve only gotten through a bit of it, I’m loving it! One of the things included as a companion to the book is WonderbookNow, a website containing additional resources for folks as they go through the book. And within that site is The […]

Since the last time I posted about my superhero fiction, I haven’t had much new come out in the world, though I’ve been busily editing a lot of other folks’ Cobalt City superhero fiction! I did publish a couple of marginally superhero stories in A Tarot of Sorcery and Sages, which includes pieces inspired by the […]

My Brass and Glass trilogy has been in the world for a little over five years, which is a wild thing to me! The first book came out in 2017 and the second in 2018. Then, after a bit of delay when my first publisher closed, I had the covers updated and the third one […]

We met up with a former co-worker of Jeremy and her young daughter at one point, and somehow got on the topic of my writing. Because I’m really good at talking to kids, I wound up addressing most of my comments to the daughter, whose eyes got bigger and bigger as I told her about […]

Have you checked out my latest collection, Weathering Youth? It’s got a bunch of stories and poetry featuring younger characters and other characters with a more youthful outlook, regardless of age. In worlds with dragons, starships, and monsters, adults aren’t the only people. Children, teenagers, and young adults are sometimes the heroes of the story […]

Heroes of Necessity includes four of my short stories about women with minimal superpowers helping out the world on a small scale. Though their powers aren’t the big, flashy kind, they are the ones those women need to solve the problems they face. “Fortissimo Possibile” features a mom with minor powers dealing with a teen […]

I have a handful of new urban or contemporary fantasy pieces out since my last post about that genre! My poem, “Bad Luck for the Fates,” which appeared in Asimov’s in April 2024, has a somewhat mythological basis in the Fates, but the setting is decidedly contemporary. There are a couple of contemporary fantasy pieces hiding […]

“Easy as a Bag of Cookies” in The Sidewalk Diverges was inspired by a meme about Greek gods in the modern day. While I can’t remember the entirety of the meme, it involved Cerberus in some way. So I combined Cerberus, Hades, and Persephone into a contemporary story where Cerberus escaped his leash and found a […]

The Emperor tarot card represents authority, power, and stability, all with a bit of a patriarchal vibe (traditionally). In A Tarot of Sorcery and Sages, this is represented by a haiku and a poem. For both of my Emperor pieces, I decided to diverge from the traditional patriarchal vibe. The haiku, “Greetings from the Sisterhood,” envisions […]
