Now that I’ve signed the contract, I can announce that my story “Guardians of the Treasure” has sold to Alien Dimensions.  This one is quite quirky, and I’m delighted that it found the perfect home!  Will let everyone know when it becomes available!

Happy to report that She Blended me with Science, an anthology of novellas and longer shorts has been released. This one contains my story “Downtime”.   Have a look, here!

Sold a story a few weeks back, but kept quiet until the contract was signed. Well, it’s signed now, so I’m now happy to announce that my story “Superclásico” has been picked up by Tales from the Canyons of the Damned.  I’m very pleased at this, as I chose the publication based on the fact that it looks amazing and has had a lot of tales from writers I really like.

Lovely news over the weekend was that I sold my story “Barking” to Hinnom magazine, which marks my first sale to Gehenna and Hinnom books.  That makes me quite happy.

So, final results are in. I finished second in this year’s Wyrm’s Gauntlet. I’m extremely happy with this result, but even happier to have discovered this contest / obstacle course. It’s the most fun I’ve had in a literary contest… ever. Link to complete results in first comment, and congrats to the winner, Wilma Combs. 🙂

Fox Spirit has shared the table of contents for the first part of American Monsters, the next installment in this incredible series. My story “Vulnerable Populations” is a part of this one, as are tales by three of my friends: Christopher Kastensmidt, Cesar Alcázar and Fábio Fernandes. Truly an honor to be there with them

One of the things I love the most about being a writer is that readers seem to like my stories (more than editors themselves, it sometimes seems). So when the reviews of Shards began to come in, I was delighted to see that many had nice things to say about my story… The line that made me happiest? “Poignant and pointed, definitely needed my Kleenex.” oh, and also the fact that a different reviewer chose mine as one of their favorites.

I’ve been interviewed over on Ink & Magic. If you’re curious about me or about my latest book, The Malakiad, here’s a good place to learn more without having to buy the book…  and then you can buy the book 🙂 Link here!

Now THAT’s en eye-catching cover.  Blood in the Rain 4, which contains my story “We Sail by Night” is available for pre-order. Of course, an antho of erotic vampire stories was always going to hit a home run cover-wise…

So… made it into the final round of the WYRM’s Gauntlet, which is an obstacle course / hunger games for writers.  This year, 37 authors and critics started the obstacle course that is the gauntlet, and 3 remain.  It’s been a pretty brutal first three rounds, so I assume the final podium positions will be bitterly fought over.

Here’s the results table so far.
