  • I am very, very pleased to announce that the issue of The First Line (Summer 2015) with my story “Laura and Ollie” is currently available for purchase and perusal. It’s a really cool journal with one basic guideline: Whatever you write, it has to start with the given first line, so that everything starts the…

  • Hello, lovelies! Things have been quiet around here again, but I’m going to blame that on my deep involvement in edit-land, because I emerge from the silence on the search for those who might like to volunteer their time to helping me make my book even better. The Slayer Saga: Heartless is ready for beta…
