ArmadilloCon 2021 + Fun Stuff!
Check it out: I’ll be appearing as a panelist at ArmadilloCon 43 in a couple weeks, and I’m looking forward to it. ArmadilloCon was my first true convention, and I’m so excited to participate on both sides of the microphone now. In other news, I have been enjoying my watercolors lately, painting imaginary beasts toContinue reading “ArmadilloCon 2021 + Fun Stuff!”
Upon Reading and Change
Like most people, my social life shifted dramatically during the pandemic. I became closer to the people with whom I could interact with well online. Some in-person friendships faded. Some remote friendships became more important. In some ways, this accelerated some changes in my social life that were already underway, as I move into aContinue reading “Upon Reading and Change”
$5 Theater + Fake-German!
My short multimedia play “Totenwascher” runs May 6-9 as a part of the 2021 Out of Ink Festival. Tickets are wicked cheap, starting at $5. Runtime for synchronous content is about one hour.

“Contract Witch” at Fireside
My story “Contract Witch” goes up at Fireside today! It’s a 6-minute read about Python, atmospheric carbon, and the sprint ceremony from hell. Please, share it with a software developer in your life. It’s been a strange month to have three short stories to promote. They also happen to be the first three short storiesContinue reading ““Contract Witch” at Fireside”
New Short Stories
I have two flash pieces that have appeared already this month. Today, my piece “The Modern Witch’s Recipe for Enemy Pie” appears in Daily Science Fiction. And at the beginning of the month, “How To Safely Engage in Telepathy with the Dolphins of Ocean Paradise” ran in Zooscape. They’re both short, humorous pieces with aContinue reading “New Short Stories”
Art, Snow, and Relief
My family and I live in Texas. We appear to have weathered last week’s storm better than many. A boil notice is in effect, but we’ll take that any day of the week over a caved-in ceiling due to burst water pipes, three days without power in single-digit temps, no water at all, or theContinue reading “Art, Snow, and Relief”
New Sale: Daily Science Fiction
Last month I signed a contract with Daily Science Fiction for a story about mercy and pie. I’m looking forward so much to sharing this story with the world!
