This website has been woefully out-of-date. I hope to do more soon, but for now my bibliography page is up-to-date with my latest short stories and novels–INCLUDING the forthcoming sequel to Moonshine: Wicked City! See the cover below!

From new book covers

I’m also planning to actually use my mailing list for very infrequent updates as I get closer to publication. If you subscribe (email me asking to be on it), you’ll hear first about an ebook exclusive short story I will be writing about how Zephyr came to New York City.

My domestic high fantasy story all about bread baking, “The Yeast of Eire” is now up at the online magazine Strange Horizons. Here’s the first paragraph:

“A few years ago we hosted a Teuton man-at-arms who, among his expected effects, also bore with him a giant silver goose. He had named this beast Tridanesus, which he alternately defined as either “bird of heaven’s feather” or “great man’s penis-pearl.”

Plus, I have the brand new cover of Moonshine:

A few recent short story sales to report. “A Song to Greet the Sun,” set in the universe of a novel project I’ve been planning for the last several years, recently sold to Fantasy Magazine. Even better, the piece was also the fiction sample with which I won the Guilliver’s Travel research grant. In April, I’ll be traveling to Mexico to study pre-Columbian mesoamerican civilizations for said novel. I’m currently attempting to teach myself Spanish in preparation for the trip.

I’ve also sold “The Score,” a stitched-together patchwork of a story, to the second Interfictions anthology. I can’t tell you how excited I am to get to participate in this project. Whatever interstitial art is, I think I live in it.
