Did you ever sit to look back on a week and it all feels like just some blur? Yeah, I’m going through that right now. It wasn’t as if anything too taxing or strange happened, either, I just think last week was a bit of a fluke where I, in a fugue, just sort of…

The last few days here in Chicago have been really hot and humid, finally with a cool down with a fantastic thunderstorm last night, but that kind of muggy weather is just the thing to turn my mind toward this month’s Featured Story, “The Scrimshawed Ostrich Egg,” from author Robert Allen Lupton. It’s been a…

I hope all the mothers out there had a wonderful Mother’s Day! I’m not a mother (yet), but I certainly have an appreciation for all the strong women who have been there for me as I grew up, and supported me as I continue to do so, especially my mother, my grandmothers, my stepmother, and…

Good news everyone! The latest edition of Pulp Modern has arrived, and I’m very excited to say that my short story, “The Lady of the Masks,” is one of the stories you’ll find within. Not only is my work in there, but you’ll also find stories from WUR author Nick Manzillio and fellow Phantaxis Volume…

Oh, man, I’ve got to admit, last week felt like a pretty good one, although I think most of the reason I’m feeling it was so successful was because I managed to get several blog posts up, more than I usually do and more along the amount I’d like to do regularly. Hopefully, that’s the…

“What else had there been to do? Bravery, courage–what was courage? She had never figured it out. Not fearing, some said. Fearing yet going on, others said. But what could one do but go on? Had one any real choice, ever?” –from “The Day Before the Revolution” by Ursula K. Le Guin– There are plenty…

There’s something particularly nice about when a new week falls on a new month. I can’t believe it’s May! But the calendar insists it’s true, so I’ll roll with it. April was a blur, but so was March, so I’m just going to assume that’s what it’s all going to be like from here on…

We’re quickly approaching the end of the month of April (how in the world does it seem to go by so fast?), which means we’re overdue to sit down and have an interview with this month’s featured author, Sarah Gribble. Her story, “Lullaby Land,” is a short, bittersweet look at loss and grieving, bringing a…

I’m getting this post out quite a bit later than usual, all due to recovering from my semi-big C2E2 weekend. I know I say this every year and have yet to do it, but next year, I definitely have to get a booth. I had a really great time, even though I guess my cosplays…
