My newest story is live in Issue 19 of Galaxy’s Edge. Shattered Vessels, co-written with the talented Robert B Finegold, is a tale of love and loss, adventure and mysticism, and one too many knife fights.

Goodness gracious! Has it really been that long since I’ve posted? Apparently it has, so onward and upward. Sasquan was my first WorldCon, but it won’t be my last.

ETA: Galaxy’s Edge has re-released TOTALED on their website. A few years ago, my sister was in a serious car accident with her two boys in the car. It was raining, and she hydroplaned on standing water that had pooled in the low spot of a cloverleaf on-ramp. Her Ford Explorer got tangled up in […]
Challenge accepted, Mr. Torgersen! My very first crush was on Astro Boy, shortly followed by Speed Racer, shortly followed by Mr. Spock and Cmdr. Sulu. I should note that I was four when Astro Boy and Speed Racer stole my heart, and five when I discovered Star Trek. By age six, my love of Star […]
