It’s Out in the World!

The Disabled People Destroy Fantasy special issue of Uncanny Magazine is available to purchase in the venue of your choice. It is the very issue that my story, This is Not My Adventure appears. If you're not able to buy the full issue, the story will become available to read online on October 1 (part of the issue was unlocked today) This is a very personal story to me, one that takes an unflinching look at depression and grief.

Story Acceptance!

Last night, I received news that my first novelette, As the Shore to the Tides, So Blood Calls to Blood (all about brothers, bad blood and blood magic) will be published in Beneath Ceaseless Skies. I'm delighted to finally appear in one of my favorite online magazines! My story should be available to read later this year or early next; in the meantime, you can see what BCS has to offer. They're the only magazine that concentrates on secondary world literary adventure fantasy stories (think Lord of the Rings by way of Faulkner). If you like those types of stories, you can puchase a monthly subscription through Weightless Books, or help them pay their authors the new SFWA-approved pro rates through their Patreon. ...
