It’s been a busy few months. Getting a book ready for publication, and doing it right, involves a lot of people and patience. But I’ve finally incorporated edits from my editor, commissioned a cover from an artist, and put it up for pre-order. I'm excited to share the fruits of that labor.

Writing Update- August 2019
I received some excellent news a couple months ago. My Sci-fi short story, “Cephi” was purchased by The Colored Lens. This story is set in the same universe as “Feldspar,” but instead of a Mars Rover, it’s a 3D printing submersible off the west coast. The story follows Jerry, a window-washer in LA. When he finally meets one of the people he’s glimpsed through a high-rise’s window over the years, she has a request that is impossible to ignore. The dirt and rock about to be dumped into the ocean as part of a city expansion project will destroy the fragile ecosystem she and other Terraform Game submersibles have built off the coast. And she thinks he alone can save it.
Quantum Quietus- Free story
As mentioned in a previous post, my short story, "Quantum Quietus," won 1st place in the 2017 N3F short story contest. They have since published it in Eldritch Science. Since there were no terms of exclusivity, I am free to publish here for you all to read. I hope you enjoy the free story!
Writing Update- The 2017 Jim Baen Memorial Writing Contest
I am pleased to announce that my short story, “Feldspar,” won the 2017 Jim Baen Memorial Writing Contest. It is an honor to be chosen as the grand prize winner from such a pool of talented finalists.
