I had one new piece out in April 2025. My poem “Adaptable” appeared in issue 56 of Eye to the Telescope. This poem is from the perspective of a bit of dandelion fluff in space, with a refrain of “I don’t belong here.” The fun of the refrain is that by emphasizing any single word in […]

As we’re getting closer to May, I’m thinking about Mermay and my collection What If I’m a Merfolk? While not all of the pieces included in this collection were written during Mermay, a large amount of the poetry was, using the daily prompts as my inspiration for each piece. This let me write a bunch of […]

Since my last post of recent fantasy stories and poetry, I’ve had a few new fantasy pieces come out! My Weathering Youth collection spans many genres, but the core of it involves fantasy stories, including some that are in the “traditional” (or non-contemporary) fantasy genre, like “Charming, Not Useful,” a somewhat ridiculous flash fiction take on […]

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 […]

The Chariot tarot card represents overcoming challenges and forward movement. In A Tarot of Sorcery and Sages, this is represented by a flash fiction piece and a poem. “Refuge” is a flash fiction story about a person fleeing pursuers who finds an unusual location. The story takes place on a river, with the protagonist quite […]

The Hierophant tarot card represents righteousness, sacredness, and hierarchical order. In A Tarot of Sorcery and Sages, this is represented by a haiku and a poem. The haiku, which begins with the line “it’s traditional,” is a bit of a protest against the hierarchical order and righteousness of this particular card, rendered in very few […]

Have you checked out my latest collection, Weathering Youth? It’s got a bunch of stories and poetry featuring younger characters and other characters with a more youthful outlook, regardless of age. In worlds with dragons, starships, and monsters, adults aren’t the only people. Children, teenagers, and young adults are sometimes the heroes of the story […]

LH Moore’s Breath of Life (Apex Book Company, 2024) is a gorgeous collection of Black-centered stories and poetry, with a substantial amount of horror and historical fiction, often in the same story! Most of my favorite stories were, of course, the historical ones. “A Little Not Music,” set in 1939 in Washington, D.C., is a dark […]

The Emperor tarot card represents authority, power, and stability, all with a bit of a patriarchal vibe (traditionally). In A Tarot of Sorcery and Sages, this is represented by a haiku and a poem. For both of my Emperor pieces, I decided to diverge from the traditional patriarchal vibe. The haiku, “Greetings from the Sisterhood,” envisions […]

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, because different awards require different word counts, and it’s easy for me to grab those so you don’t have to […]
