I had a TON of new pieces out in March 2025, including poetry, drabbles, flash fiction, and short stories! My flash fiction story, “Propagating Rosa glacies,” appeared in issue 12 of ALOCASIA. This is a flash fiction piece written as a gardening article (with a teaser for a future article at the end). It’s a bit dark […]

I’ve published a handful of horror and dark fantasy pieces in the nine months since my last post on my spooky reads! Weathering Youth contains stories featuring younger protagonists, but that doesn’t mean the stories are all light and fluffy. In particular, “Remembrance” (drabble), “A Trail of Apples” (short story), “No Fear” (flash fiction), “Someone […]

I had two new stories out in or around February. (One was technically January, but I didn’t realize it was out until after my January story post!) As I mentioned previously, I had four stories selected for the Hawthorn & Ash anthology, and the first of those has appeared on the Iron Faerie Publishing website. “Glaistig” […]

Right at the end of January, Holly & Broom (Hawthorn & Ash vol. 6) came out with four of my drabbles in it. One of those stories, “Glaistig,” is available on the Iron Fairie Publishing website as of yesterday, with the other three to come. The other three drabbles are “Witch Knight,” “Tarot Estoterica: The Black […]

Catherine Tavares posted her recap of what she attended at Flights of Foundry immediately after the convention. I took a little longer to collect some of my thoughts and notes, but I hope you enjoy! (You can find my day 1 recap here.) I’m going to have to do mine in chunks by day, so […]

I haven’t had a ton of recent sci-fi publications, but there are a couple of new ones since my last post back in December 2023! Shortly after that post, my story “Gratitude” was podcast on the Manawaker Flash Fiction Podcast. This story had appeared originally at Silver Blade and was included in Droplets from the Universe. […]

I had the idea to write a post about my revision process, but it occurred to me that it’s different depending on the length of the piece I’m revising. When I’m writing novella or novel length pieces, my revision wall is my go to method. But the revision wall is way too much when I’m […]

Addison Smith’s Fractured Realities (2024) is another great collection of sci-fi and fantasy fiction in small stories. There’s a mix of drabbles, microfiction, flash fiction, and a few short stories, with a trend toward stories that pack a lot of emotion into few words. The stories in this collection include a number of previously published stories […]

I had one new piece out in March, which was “Dead Planet,” a drabble in Drabbledark III from Shacklebound Books. This is the sixth of my pieces that Shacklebound has published, most of which had been drabbles, and it’s wonderful to have a publisher that accepts mostly that length!

Addison Smith’s Darkling Dreams (Shacklebound Books, 2024) is a collection of drabbles–stories of exactly 100 words. The themes in these stories are often dark and sci-fi, but they show an incredible mastery of the drabble format in their breadth and scope of approaches to this tricky length. I was familiar with some of Smith’s drabbles through […]
