I had a couple of new pieces come out in April My flash fiction piece, “Mutualism by Any Other Name,” appeared in the April issue of Factor Four Magazine. They’ve published me before, but I was pleased to find this story a home, as it’s an odd one, told from the perspective of a grove of […]

“Bigger than the Big Bang” is a flash fiction story in Dead-Starred Futures involving a flash of premonition and the lengths one woman goes to in order to keep that premonition from coming to pass. Though that might not sound much like a sci-fi story, it also involves hacking and a bit of espionage. Oddly enough, […]

“Be Inspired” is a slipstream contemporary fantasy flash fiction story about a woman dealing with an unpleasant romantic relationship and how she emerges from that situation. I can’t say too much else about the story without giving it away, though it does involve the aurora borealis in an unusual location! “Be Inspired” is one of […]

I had three pieces come out in February, all flash fiction! Small Wonders reprinted my story “Grandmother Firebird,” which is a sweet and cozy multigenerational tale of daughter, mother, and grandmother. My story “The Glass Cauldron Shattered” appeared in 99 Fleeting Fantasies, an anthology of flash fiction pieces. This one takes a look at magical […]

“Trinkets or Treasures” falls more into the gaslamp fantasy area of steampunk–there’s no noted steampunk technology, and it’s more about magic than technology. But I included it in this collection because it fit well into the steampunk connection to people fighting against corrupt governmental systems. It’s a brief flash piece offering a bit on insight […]

Time to look at my 2024 goals! I’m primarily focusing on shorter fiction in 2024, as I did in 2023, though I am already brainstorming a couple of of novellas that I might want to write as well. We’ll see if those pan out, though! If I do stick with my focus on shorter fiction, […]

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 the time of year when folks start posting lists of their stories and books from the past year that are eligible for award nominations, like the Nebulas, Hugos, and more. I’m including word count for my short stories and novelette this year, because different awards require different word counts, and it’s easy for me […]

“Good to the Last Drop” is a dark sci-fi flash fiction piece that involved research into hydroponics and growing coffee, along with some other searches to pull together the plot. I can’t say much more about that research without giving it away, but suffice it to say that some people will do ANYTHING for their […]

I had four new pieces out in November of this year! My flash fiction piece, “The Train Station That Knows What You Need,” came out in Cafe Irreal. This story is super special to me because while we were in Japan back in May, we came VERY near to the train station in question. Sadly, […]
