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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
In 2019, my novel Jack Jetstark's Intergalactic Freakshow was published by World Weaver Press. They were a great home for my novel for five years, and now they are restructuring and publishing only anthologies (this is a good thing, they are amazing at anthologies) so they gave the rights to my novel back to me.

Over the past few months I've done some small edits, nothing major just word choice for the most part, and I have republished it in digital and paperback with the original cover art designed by Sarena Ullibarri.
And for those of you who know how important the song American pie is to this book and my journey writing it, I went to the mall yesterday. Not the time I was supposed to go to the mall. We left early for some reason. And for some reason I felt the need to go into the Hallmark Channel store. And wouldn't you know, American pie was playing the instant I walked in.
