Book announcement: Allosaurus In Wonderland

 I am very excited to announce that From Beyond Press is going to publish my book ALLOSAURUS IN WONDERLAND AND OTHER STORIES FROM AVALONIA in 2025!

This has been a project in my heart for years. It combines several of my previously published stories with a bunch of new ones to create an anthology telling the story of Avalonia, a land where people and dinosaurs live together.

Allosaurus In Wonderland will contain updated versions of the following stories, please follow the links if you would like to read them or purchase the anthologies they have been published in

The Good, The Bad, And The Utahraptor

Don't Cry For Me Argentinosaurus

Joan of Archaeopteryx

This project has been a dream of mine for years. I've been jokingly calling it the JLRCU, Jennifer Lee Rossman Cinematic Universe, but actually having it become a reality is so exciting for me.

I am still working on writing all of the stories, but I think it's going to be a fun anthology and I hope everyone enjoys it.

You can find more information here

Mesh And Lace

 My queer love story Mesh and Lace is now available for free online at Orion's Beau!

Set in a dystopia and Utopia that can't exist simultaneously, it's a story of breaking all the rules of time travel to be with the person you love. And I can't say much more without spoiling it, but it was inspired by the Modern English song "Melt With You" and I'm just very proud of it. 

Dollface

 My horror story "Dollface" is now available for free from Max Blood's Mausoleum!

It is a horror story about the loss of ability and autonomy, and the way people treat you when you are disabled, even and perhaps especially if they are the people who love you the most.

The Merchant Of Venus

 My story "The Merchant Of Venus" is now available in Brave New Girls: Chronicles Of Curious Girls Who Create!

These middle grade anthologies feature teenage girls in STEM and the proceeds go to The Society Of Women Engineers Scholarship Fund, so I'm always excited to have a story in one.

My story this time is the culmination of a couple separate notes that have been in my ideas folder for quite a while. The first was the title, a play on the Shakespeare play, although I was never quite sure what I wanted to do with that title. I just liked it.

The second was Saul Goodman from Better Call Saul if he was a robot. Again, more of a concept than an actual idea.

And then there was this joke: what did the salesman say at the Shakespearean camping supply store's year end sales event? Now is the winter of our discount tents!

Lovecraft, Actually

 My story Lovecraft, Actually is now available in Necronomi-romcom!

It is hard to talk about exactly what inspired my story because it involves the twist at the end, but the basic idea is that scene in Love, Actually with Andrew Lincoln at the door with the cards… but he is a queer lady trying to communicate with the cosmic horror creature that is about to sacrifice her girlfriend.

A Plague On Both Our Houses

 I missed officially announcing this a couple months ago somehow, but my story A Plague On Both Our Houses is available in the shopping mall horror anthology Escalators To Hell!

This queer reimagining of Romeo and Juliet takes place several decades after a zombie apocalypse hit in the 90s, and two separate groups of survivors have rebuilt civilization inside a shopping mall. Technologies have evolved, but still retain that 90s retro aesthetic.

The Huldra

 My story "The Huldra" is available in Fraidy Cat Quarterly Volume One!

It's a creepy story about a creature from Scandinavian mythology, growing up, and learning that some monsters are real… but they might not be what you expect.
