I talk about some of my favorite short stories I've read this year.
Sales, updates, general things
Hello all, it's time for a general state of the author post, brought to you by myself, the author, who is a flop. I was very caught up in dayjob stuff for the month of September, which put me in the position of having not a lot of energy for anything else. The seasons are... Continue Reading →
Hey folks! I wanted to stop in and let you know that I'll be on The Story Hour, which is a free live short story reading, Wednesday 9/30 at 7pm PST (10 pm EST). I'll edit this post to add the recording once it is over, but I wanted to give folks a chance to... Continue Reading →

Reading Round-up: June 2020
An Easy Death by Charlaine Harris The Gunnie Rose books were an unexpected find. My mother and I have been trading books during the pandemic, since all the libraries are closed and I'm trying to buy a lot less from Amazon. Strangely enough, these books feature a pandemic too -- an alternate timeline caused by... Continue Reading →
A reading from A SINISTER QUARTET

I've read a lot of books. So here's my reading roundup for the past few (semi-eternal) weeks. The City We Became This is definitely... Continue Reading →
My Favorite Short Stories of 2019
This is the post where I try, desperately, to narrow things down enough to pick just ten - just ten! - short stories to talk about for the year of 2019. This is more short stories than I've ever put on my list before, and it was hard to just pick ten. There were so... Continue Reading →
My vacation reads
I read a bunch of books over vacation, and I thought I would go through and give a brief review of each! Before I left, I put a story up on Instagram with my four vacation reads I'd picked out and why I was excited about them. Let's see how they held up. So I... Continue Reading →
Communication in Romance: American Witch
I've been reading a lot of romances lately, and I know those aren't everyone's cup of tea. Graphic sex is often a feature, and those hot and steamy scenes might be a fun time for me but they aren't for everybody. That said, I think there are some things that they do well, and some...

Damn fine Lovecraft reimaginings
It's October, and at a recent house party a friend of mine was telling me how much he hated Lovecraft. In honor of this sentiment and the creepiest month of the year, I bring to you my shortlist of super amazing Lovecraft-inspired tales. Enjoy! The Ballad of Black Tom I have recommended this story so... Continue Reading →
