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. […]

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 […]

“Consequence” is a drabble, exactly 100 words, in which a superhero is faced with a choice about her power. I can’t say more about it than that, without giving away too much of the story! “Consequence” originally appeared at Martian: The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy, but it’s also available in The Sidewalk Diverges.

I had three pieces come out in December, all on the shorter side of things! The Utopia Science Fiction 5th Anniversary Anthology included a reprint of my story, “Senchado in Microgravity,” which Utopia published originally back in April 2020. This story, about family, grief, and tea, has also been podcast and included in one of my collections, […]

It’s been quite a while since I did a sci-fi roundup of things I’ve published. So here goes! My poem, “Portrait Day at Zapus Zone 9 Academy,” which imagines a school attended by multiple alien species, appeared in Star*Line in October 2022. My flash fiction piece, “Senchado in Microgravity,” was podcast at Manawaker Studios Flash […]

Today’s the day! Dead-Starred Futures is now available! If you like your science-fiction on the darker and dystopian side, this is the collection for you! It’s also all bite-sized fiction–nothing longer than 1,000 words, and quite a few pieces that are closer to 250 or 100! Visions of the future aren’t always gleaming starships and utopias. […]

My next collection, Dead-Starred Futures, is out August 15, 2023, and it’s time to reveal the cover! This collection is all tiny pieces–flash fiction down to drabbles and poetry, so it will be a quick read but bursting with all sorts of dystopian and post-apocalyptic science fiction. It’s a darker counterpart to Droplets from the Universe. Visions […]
