My writing has been slow lately, because I’ve been busy with my wedding, which was this past Saturday. As our guests trickled in before the ceremony, I noticed that our various friends were clustering in small groups. We had the roller derby group, the gamer group, and, of course, the writer group. Most of the […]

I’ve got a bunch of stories that should be in the works. I almost outlined one of them, for the Steampunk Shakespeare anthology. I say almost outlined, because I’m not a big outliner. Most of my stories just tend to flow in semi-random directions, and then get cleaned up later on. But this story needed […]

I got word today that my short story, “Unexpected Sparx,” has been accepted for the Cobalt City: Dark Carnival anthology, which is due out this fall. The anthology is still accepting submissions, and you can find out more here. There are a lot of really great characters that still are waiting for their stories to […]

I’ve been out of town for a bit, so this is the first chance I’ve had to post here about one of my stories being available online. You can find the story at the Nevermet Press website. (Update 2/3/2025: Link no longer viable.) This story was originally published in the Steampunk issue of Crossed Genres. […]

As part of the lead up to the publication of In Situ, Dagan Books has been publishing interviews with the authors of the stories. My interview is up on their website. (Update: 2/3/2025, link is no longer viable) My story for this anthology is in the form of a nineteenth century archaeologist’s field notes/journal. The […]

I posed this question to my writing group last night, which got me some answers, but it also sent us off on wild tangents about 4th person and 5th person (among other things). When writing a story, how do you decide if you want to tell the story in the first person or in the […]

I woke up this morning from a dream about vampires, and I realized by the time I got to work (and was still mulling over the details) that this dream could form the basis of a novel/setting. Because what I really needed to do was go and get myself worked up over writing a vampire […]

It occurred to me earlier today that one of my stories is available online. (It also occurred to me that I should add it to my publications list!) This story was one that I worked on, in two very different versions, for quite a while. I submitted one version of the story to one venue, […]

While I don’t think I’m going to finish one story by the deadline, I managed to sit down last night and bash out a full rough draft of a different story. I think this may be the first time that I’ve gotten an entire first draft out in one sitting. I was listening to a […]

Well, here it is. My very own website for my writing! Arguably, I didn’t NEED another website, but I wanted one. And then Jeremy and I came up with the exact same name for it at the exact same time, so I figured it was kind of meant to be. At present, I’m working on […]
