Here’s one that just launched! Dragon Gems Summer 2023 antho, which includes my story “The Best Planned Lays” (a brand-new story which resumes the adventures of my very first fictional hero, Fred), is available for purchase.
I’ve placed a link to the Amazon page here… and here’s the cover.
My microfiction piece “Holding the Fort” was an honorable mention in the Stupefying Stories Nepotism contest. It’s a tiny little read, but I found it funny, and I think anyone who enjoys black humor and history will enjoy it. It’s a thirty-second read, and I have added the link here.
Here’s a really cool piece of news: ResAliens is back! I had a story in this mag way back in 2011 and now that it has returned, I’m in it again–as featured author no less–with my tale “Our Song”.
This makes me happy. It’s like seeing an old friend after a decade!

Here’s another publication I should have mentioned a lot earlier. Professor Feiff’s Compleat Pocket Guide to Xenobiology for the Galactic Traveller on the Move includes my story “Blink”, which is an evil little tail of accelerated evolution (would that be Evilution?).
Continuing with my review of things that got published and I never announced due to early-year craziness, here’s Phantom Thieves and Sagacious Scoundrels, which contains my story “The Smoke, And Mirrors”, about anti-heroes doing anti-heroic things with class and pizzazz. Purchase link here.
My story Homesinger — which I utterly adore, has been published in the April 2023 edition of The Fifth Di. Link here.
Good news of the day is that I just sent back the contract and my story “A Truth Among Several” will be published in Swords and Sorcery.
Stupefying Stories is running a series of tales about a very different colony ship called the Brahma. I’ve written a darkly humorous piece for it entitled “Nuclear Family”, which is today’s installment.
It’s a short read, and it stands alone (though you can always read the precious stories if you like!), and I’ve linked to it here.
Sale! My story “Bells on the Wind” has been accepted by Every Day Fiction, a publisher I’ve loved since they first started out. I’ll let everyone know when it is available to read.
Cool news for today is that my story “The Odinian Job” is up at Page and Spine. This is a short piece in a shared universe, but it stands alone, and I had a lot of fun writing it… Link here.
