Some of This Is True is published

I’ve been in a lot of really good Anthologies, but to be honest this one might be among the best. I’m so pleased to say that my story “Some of This Is True” appears in Fiction River: Dark and Deadly Passions. A scan of the TOC covers so many of my favorite writers. Like most […]

Tara Grímravn of Tangent Online seems to have liked “The Robin Club” pretty well–as well as several other stories in the Superstitions edition of Fiction River it appears in.

“Prospecting” is Published!

But this is my first, and, to date only, piece that fits squarely in the Western genre. I wrote “Prospecting” for a themed anthology focused on “Justice,” but […]

I Love Me Some Monster Tales

I’m totally stoked to be part of DAWN OF THE MONSTERS, which is issue one of Amazing Monster Tales. This promises to be a great series of pulpy good monster stories that … well … I’ll let their marketing blubs handle that part of the message later in this post. I’ll just say that the […]
