Is out!

You can find it at Amazon here. You can also find it at most other online booksellers. I’m so excited to be sharing a Table of Contents with so many amazing writers!

Also, the anthology was reviewed at Tangent Online, which you can find here. Needless to say, I was over the moon at the awesome things C. D. Lewis had to say about my story.

In other upcoming news, my short story, “Scenes from a Solitary Life” will be appearing at Daily Science Fiction on Thanksgiving Day, 11/26. I’d love for you to stop by and have a read. I’m really proud of this one.

Just returned (well, not returned so much as transitioned into vacation at beautiful Rangeley, Maine) from the World Fantasy Convention in Saratoga Springs, NY. It was a fun two days of meeting other writers, listening to panels discuss fantasy and horror topics, and hanging out with old friends. Next year the convention is in Columbus, OH and I’m hoping to make that my 3rd WFC.

A Sale and a Workshop

I just got back from TNEO–The Never Ending Odyssey–a one week workshop for Odyssey Writing Workshop alums. As much as I learned from Odyssey, one of the greatest benefits has been the network of talented, supportive writers that become writing family. I learned some new things, reinforced some others, got some validation and some feedback, hung out with 21 others who were just as happy as me talking about writing all week, and came home recharged and ready to write! Yay!

To make it even more awesome, the morning I left, I received word that Daily Science Fiction is buying another of my stories, my 4th sale to DSF. This one is called “Scenes from a Solitary Life” and it’s one of my favorites, so I’m stoked that it’s found a home. More info to come as I get the details. Double yay!

New Story Up

I forgot to announce this sale back in April, but no worries, my story “Music and Poetry” can now be read over at NewMyths!

Follow me!

This story is a little different than my usual fare. It started with the simple idea of taking the old adage “write what you know.” I wanted to see how much passion came through if I wrote about something I am passionate about. That’s where the ‘Music’ came in. I took my love of the piano and put it into a story.

But, somewhere along the way, ‘write what you don’t have the foggiest clue about’ also made an appearance, hence the poetry. The result is a quiet, bittersweet tale of emotion and discovery.

Enjoy!

Another sale

It’s been a good week for me! Daily Science Fiction bought another flash piece from me. “500 Seconds” is a dark glimpse at a man who believes he has the power to destroy us all, and what happens when his life falls apart.

I don’t have a date yet when it will be out, but I’ll post here as soon as it’s available.
