I’m very proud that my historical fantasy “When Mastered, a Graceful Accomplishment” is part of the table of contents. I had…

Holiday Leftovers
A while back, B Cubed Press had an open call for an anthology of holiday stories. Alternative Holidays came out a few months ago, but the editors (Alicia Hilton and Bob Brown) decided they wanted to produce an overflow anthology. And so there’s now also Holiday Leftovers. As with other B Cubed titles, a portion…

“Harriers”
The Dire Dark is out today, the latest in Shacklebound’s series of flash fiction anthologies. My story about werewolves in a military company is what happens when you start a story too soon, then decide that the opening bit works just fine as a little standalone (and are lucky to find an editor who agrees).…

Kickstart Bicycles & Broomsticks
Bicycles & Broomsticks is the latest entry in Microcosm’s Bikes in Space series of anthologies. As in the previous volumes, these stories share the themes of bikes and feminism; but this time, the secret ingredient is witchcraft. My story is set in 1890s London at the intersection of middle-class bicycling, Egyptology, occult societies, solitary magical…

“Used Armor Smell”
Today you can pick up a copy of Dread Space, an anthology of flash length dark military science fiction stories. My story “Used Armor Smell,” about armor more rugged than its wearer, is included. When choosing pronouns for nonbinary characters in the past, I’ve defaulted to they/them. It’s a somewhat lazy decision: most nonbinary folks…

Not a joke! The fourth issue of Martian: A Magazine of Science Fiction Drabbles is available from Amazon. This is the first chronological appearance of my 100 word story “Tethered, In Darkness,” which will also be in the annual anthology and on the Martian website in May. I’m a big fan of the cover images…

Underland Arcana: Deck One
This reprint anthology was a December release, but it’s still worth crowing about. The book collects all the stories published in the first year of Underland Arcana. My contributions—the short story “Wayfinding” and the flash “Family Dinner”—are in excellent company. Tarot cards were included with the contributors’ copies, as a special treat. Mark Teppo is…

Release day for In Somnio
Okay, it’s been a bit of a staged release. I know some folks have already received physical copies and ebooks were available last week, but now the anthology is available for everyone in every format. The publisher, Tenebrous Press, has trade paperbacks; Godless and Amazon have ebooks. If you’re in the mood for Gothic feels,…
