Blog postI have a new story, “Locks and Keys and the Truth at the Heart of It,” in Pulphouse #17. I’m super-excited about this one because when the story came to me, it was in a different style than I’ve tried before. I trusted my subconscious and went for it. So happy to see this one get a home.
It falls on the literary side of things, perhaps magic realism? but I’m calling it fantasy for ease of filing.

Unfortunately for Brittani, her school has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to vi -

Blog postWhether you’re in cold and rain (here in OR), or under snow (I hear you, friends in MN!), or dealing with heat (CA, Australia…), maybe you crave holiday stories.
