I’m a little late to the party, of course, but Analog recently published one of my short stories: “Hillman, Charles Dallas, Age: 35, No Partner, Parents: Deceased.” I’m certainly biased, but I think you’ll like it. At least I hope it might get you to thinking a bit. Now they’ve dropped a companion piece I […]
Read More ...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 […]
Read More ...Realm City & The Space Opera Odyssey Bundle!

Read More ...October Dare: Day 11, Morning Notes
Got a later start today than normal, probably because I woke up in the middle of the night with an odd pain in my hip. No idea why. Maybe it’s just getting old, or maybe it was because the cat was sleeping on me. < shrug >. Got back to sleep a bit later, though. […]
Read More ...October Dare: Day 10 – Fighting the River
“A Dare is about letting your soul free.” Some time ago I said that to my writing twin Lisa Silverthorne. A Dare is about letting your soul free. We were talking about the concept of writing a novel in a month (or less) versus the idea inherent in what is now the classic NaNoWriMo thing—which […]
Read More ...Novel Dare Days 1 and 2
October 2019 vs. October 2020: What Difference a Year Can Make, eh? Anyway… If you saw my weak sauce Facebook post yesterday you’ll know that I have now embarked on a classic Novel Dare challenge, initiated by my devilishly devious daughter and enjoined by my lightning fast friend. When she first asked I thought: wow, […]
Read More ...Face the Strange is Published!
I’m incredibly excited to present to you … Face the Strange, an anthology of amazing stories I’ve edited along with my daughter, Brigid, and introduced by Dean Wesley Smith. Mayhem, destruction, and domination. Cooperation, friendship, and even love. When strangers from vastly different backgrounds collide, the potential fallouts are infinite. Within these pages you’ll find […]
Read More ...Look Safe Appears in STOLEN
My cup runneth over today it seems. I’ve got a couple things to talk about all of a sudden, so let’s start here … I’m pretty stoked to announce that Fiction River’s Stolen, which includes my short story “Look Safe,” has now seen publication. It’s an anthology of stories that all have something to do […]
Read More ...Space: 1975
Here’s your chance to stow away on the greatest little space opera anthology since, well, the 70s! [grin] X X X X X X All right, I’ve done some vague Facebook sharing on this project over the past day or three, but since it’s getting ready to go live I can now talk a bit […]
Read More ...My Tash Sultana Problem
Like anything, you don’t start out at the top and you’re always getting better. So I’m not in a competition with anyone. I don’t think I’m better than anyone. I don’t think I’m the best at anything. I just do my thing, and I learn shit from people all the time. Just keep your brain […]
