Bibliography

After a dozen years at it, I’ve made a splash here and there while making some noise hither and yon. Below you’ll find all the stuff I’ve done.  I’ll note the free to view things with an all powerful FREE. I invite you to check out something new…

Opportunities for Lost Children, old rich people download their memories into children (FREE to view).

King of the Shell Game, originally published by Ares Magazine (Spring 2016), but has since been taken down. Bear with me as I find a new home for this story about energy beings wearing us as shells.

The Two Kingdoms Woman, historical fiction about Lady Sun of the Three Kingdoms Period of China. The whole story, a spell (FREE to view).

The Discounted Seniors, SF comedy featuring an elderly man in an assisted living facility with a next gen cane, brand new robot assistant and a lot of crotchety attitude.

The Civet Whisperer, comedy about a coffee plantation employing a civet whisperer to procure the world’s most expensive cup of joe.

Class Action Orc, fantasy comedy, the follow up to Orc Legal.

Nothing, Ventured, SF satire about a scientist’s relentless pursuit of nothing (FREE to view).

The Lovers Quarrel dystopian fantasy. This marks my first use of hex magic, a mainstay in my novel series. A duel that takes place in  what would later become The Sprawl.

Hollow Man Dances, origin myth of those tall, plastic tube, advertising air dancer guys.

The Sunmistress’ Mending, fantasy story about the recuperation and awakening of a woman tasked to harness the power of the sun.

Song of Passing Grief, set in the same steampunk Crimean Warscape as “A Song of Home, the Organ Grinds,” a Romani woman deals with finding her voice. Another fan favorite (FREE to view).

A Lack of Charity, published in Triangulation: Last Contact (July 2011), republished in Mysterion: Rediscovering Mysteries of the Christian Faith (August 2016).

What Gets Your Goat, published in Sorcerous Signals (May 2010).  Sorcerous Signals has since gone away, so no link. This was my first story sold (at 5 bucks!) and crudely written but, still, sad to see it go.
