Hello friends! It's been awhile, because I am terrible at updating a blog. Also, I've been super busy. Just two quick things before I'm off and running again: 1) You can now pre-order the ebook version of BRAVE NEW GIRLS Vol. 4, which contains my story Earthquake Machine. The link to that is right HERE. … Continue reading Quick Update

REVIEW: We Set The Dark On Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia
I devoured this book. I grabbed it from the library last week, because it was on my list, but I couldn't really remember what it was about. But it had a good title and a pretty cover. We Set the Dark on Fire starts with a myth, of a sun god and a salt god, … Continue reading REVIEW: We Set The Dark On Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia

Flash in the Pan: A “She” Companion Story
I've neglected this blog a little bit, but I think it will work out. I read H. Rider Haggard's She for my November Canon Blast post-- which you can find over on my Patreon for just $1/month-- and it was a hoot. And I mean that sarcastically, because I really did not like it at … Continue reading Flash in the Pan: A “She” Companion Story
Year in Books 2018
It's December 31, which means it's time to take stock of what I read this year and pick some favorites. TOP FIVE (in no particular order): Annihilation-- Jeff Vandermeer Go ahead and watch the movie, but it's nothing at all like the book.

Hello friends! This is a different kind of wrap up post. It's been brought to my attention that Awards Season is upon us, and I do have a couple of things that are eligible. Nebula Nominations are open--I'm not a SFWA member (yet!) so I can't nominate, but I will put together a post closer … Continue reading 2018 Eligibility Post
Suddenly, September
It's September! August was a good month for stories, for me. My Great British Bake Off meets Sweeney Todd story, "Too Good, At Least" is available over on Speculative City. I had a blast writing this one--it was one of those rare stories that pretty much sprang from my head fully formed, like Athena. I … Continue reading Suddenly, September
Story Fog
July passed in a haze of stories. Seriously, a haze. I can't even begin to tell you what most of them were about, and I'm still recovering from the onslaught so I haven't gone back to look at any of them yet. I know there were food puns, destructive fairies, pop culture references, and about … Continue reading Story Fog
Write Like You’re Not Melting
It's July 1, and I've sent off my first story for Zoetic Press' Write Like You're Alive challenge. The goal is to write one story per day for the entire month of July. I hemmed and hawed for a few weeks about whether or not I was actually going to do this, because 31 in … Continue reading Write Like You’re Not Melting
