But today, I’m sharing a page with sci-fi name generators, which will be helpful to my readers who like to write on that side of things. And someday, […]

Last year, my story “The Recondite Riddle of the Rose Rogue” appeared in the 2017 Young Explorer’s Adventure Guide. I’m thrilled to be back for 2018 as well, with “Far from Home,” which is one of the very few sci-fi-ish stories I’ve written. The Young Explorer’s Adventure Guide series includes stories that are meant for children regardless of […]

I mentioned my latest acceptance yesterday, but now that it’s available, here are the details! My short story, “Vodyanoi,” appears in this month’s issue of Beyond Science Fiction, which is available on Amazon (digital only). “Vodyanoi” is a story that I wrote a while ago, and which went through a number of incarnations before I finally […]
