Writing Update July 2025-
It’s been quiet around here for the past couple years, but that is about to change. I’ve made several important decisions regarding my writing and publishing journey. That means this site, as well as my life, will soon get a lot busier.
Operation Meltwater
"Operation Meltwater" was originally published by Baen Books in ROBOSOLDIERS: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVOS in 2022. It is now free to read on my website.
Cephi
"Cephi" was a finalist in the 2017 N3F short story contest and was published in COLORED LENS the following year. It's now free to read on my website.
Feldspar
I'm happy to share my award winning hard Scifi story, FELDSPAR. This was published in 2017 on the Baen Books website after it won their short story award. After so many years, I thought it would make it available for all of you to enjoy on my website.
