“When Mastered, a Graceful Accomplishment”
Bicycles & Broomsticks, the ninth volume in Elly Blue’s Bikes in Space series, is now out in the world. (You can buy the paperback or ebook direct from the publisher or your favored retailer.) 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…

Underland Arcana: Deck Two
This month, Underland Press released Underland Arcana: Deck Two, collecting the Underland Arcana stories from the past year. “Bones Placed in Apposition” is among them. I am very pleased to have this dapper hammerhead sitting on my bookshelf. If you would also like this dapper hammerhead sitting on your bookshelf or swimming on your e-reader,…

“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…

Martian: Year One
Martian: Year One is an anthology collecting all the drabbles from Martian Magazine‘s first year. I’m pleased that two of my stories—“Honey and Apples” and “Tethered, In Darkness”—are included. Buying the anthology is a great way to support the magazine, so if you like very short stories (and a robust short fiction market), please consider…

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,…

Kickstarting Modern Gothic Horror
In Somnio: A Collection of Modern Gothic Horror, with my short story “Always an After,” will be published by Tenebrous Press. The Kickstarter campaign is about to enter its final week. The anthology is edited by Alex Woodroe and will contain a number of cool illustrations. How many illustrations? That’s still up for debate. The…

“Now and Then and Back Again: A Play of Three Acts”: The Chorochronos Archives
In 2017, I started writing-and-finishing things after a pretty long break (and, a couple years later, started submitting some of them). 2017 was a bad time for politics in the United States, and it just kept getting worse. (No, I did not think it would end with hundreds of thousands of excess pandemic deaths and…

It collects stories published during 2020, including my own “Digital Pyre.” Proceeds help keep the webzine up, running, and paying pro rates.

Cover and TOC: Community of Magic Pens
It’s time for updates on Community of Magic Pens, edited by E.D.E. Bell, coming in May from Atthis Arts (and available for preorder now). The cover art was revealed, in a low-key fashion, on Twitter. It’s by Journey, a young Detroit-based artist. (She also produced artwork for the Kickstarter campaign.) It’s happy and charming and…
