Reading: Still working through Millions of Suns, along with doing some anthropology reading for a character I’m playing in a new game. Watching: We watched the entirety of Dead Boy Detectives, and I’m a little bummed that it didn’t do well enough to warrant a second season, because I adored it.

Reading: Bunches of books to review. I’ve gotten a lot of short story collections, either as anthologies or single-author collections, which are some of my favorite things to read, for the length and the variety! Watching: Not quite as much as usual, though we caught up on season 2 AND 3 of Reservation Dogs. Now […]

This past month saw publication of a short story, a couple of pieces of flash fiction, and a poem! “Chrysopoeia,” a flash fiction piece about a charlatan and the person who reveals him for what he really is, appeared in The Dire Dark, which is an anthology of dark fantasy pieces. My short story “Easy […]
