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 […]

As I mentioned previously, I’m working through Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled very slowly to absorb as much wisdom as I can about writing poetry. This week’s post covers Chapter 2, Section 2, on rhyme. This is the shortest section that I’ve looked at so far, which mainly exists to introduce the ideas of the […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

As I mentioned previously, I’m working through Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled very slowly to absorb as much wisdom as I can about writing poetry. This week’s post covers Chapter 2, Section 1, on rhyme. Rhyme is something that I’ve always felt more comfortable with, especially compared to meter. And as Stephen Fry explains, that’s true […]

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 […]
