Another story accepted

"A Fair Exchange" will appear in the April 2011 issue of Bards and Sages Quarterly. Again, I've taken on an alien point of view. I like the fact that we are almost entirely empty space, with no real boundary between ourselves and the world "outside." I wanted to write about the ability to arrange one's molecules, aligning them to allow passage through structures. It was a short jump after that to adding shape-shifting skills.

Recent publications

I've written a novel (science fiction), which I've revised several times. I'm preparing now for another round of marketing. Meanwhile, over the past four months or so, I've been writing short stories. I love it!


I've had non-fiction accepted in the past and, recently, I sold a fiction piece, "Grocery Games," to Daily Science Fiction. It will appear on their email list Thurs, Dec. 16 and then on their website a week later. It's a flash piece from an alien point of view.


I've also had a story accepted by Short-Story.Me!  "A Path to Amazonia" is longer than "Grocery Games," a fantasy piece with lots of descriptive detail. I've been to the Amazon, and my experiences there inspired this tale. It will be published in the next few months.

I'm working on a supernatural horror story now. Fun to write, but tricky.

Starting line

My goal for this site is to focus on my writing, though I expect to feature my artwork as well.
