Shameless self-promotion and other stuff

So, first of all, I have TWO pieces in the 6th volume of FUCKIT: a ‘zine. This issue’s theme is “Death to Cringe,” and I am quite excited to be a part of that. Those of you who enjoyed “There are No Lost Worlds” might be interested in “A (Lovely) Companion Piece,” wherein we learnContinue reading “Shameless self-promotion and other stuff”

Shameless self-promotion and hello, not dead

So I totally spaced on promoting the November issue of Fuckit, which contains “The Modern Eurydice: to Orpheus in the Autumn of the Plague Year,” so that came out. I got a little distracted by … I dunno, some political event. No, the other one. No, no–the one that happened right around the time theContinue reading “Shameless self-promotion and hello, not dead”

Shameless self-promotion!

It’s pub day for Stories We Tell After Midnight 2!  You can find my story, “Primary Manifestations” in this anthology of creepy, spooky stories. *** “Primary Manifestations” is a haunted house story.  I love haunted houses.  You can probably tell, as I’ve written, what, three stories now that involve them (four if you count theContinue reading “Shameless self-promotion!”

shameless self-promotion

You can find my untitled internet quiz parody in Fuckit issue 3, Vote, Motherfucker, Vote! Now, far be it from me to use that kind of vulgarity … … wait, hang on, I think Scott may have collapsed … Oh.  No.  He’s just on the floor laughing.  What’s that, honey?  Oh.  I’m being told IContinue reading “shameless self-promotion”

stress relief in the soft apocalypse

It’s been a stressful couple of weeks around these parts as Florida caseloads keep climbing.  There’s new software for work we’re trying to figure out, the dog keeps scratching at a spot on her face so she’s back in the cone, and we’ve been trying to figure out what to do for the kid’s schoolingContinue reading “stress relief in the soft apocalypse”

Woulou, part 2

Not raising money this time, just putting a story into the world.  Hope you enjoy.  Part One is here. After that, I was ready to sell my car to clear out the jungle in the back corner of the yard. Of course, it wouldn’t be that easy because the plants themselves weren’t on our sideContinue reading “Woulou, part 2”

Woulou, part 1

Not raising money this time, just sending a story out into the world.  Hope you enjoy. When my son, Morgan, was seven, we moved into a new house.  I couldn’t afford to buy a house, but there was a rental available in a pretty nice neighborhood for a ridiculously low price. You know where thisContinue reading “Woulou, part 1”

well, i’m still quarantined blogging: hi!

Been a bit, yeah? I’m living in a hotspot, y’all, and I am hiding in my house as much as I possibly can because yoiks. We got neighbors in front and behind us in their 20s having house parties, which I hate anyway because I am old and like the quiet and hate humans, butContinue reading “well, i’m still quarantined blogging: hi!”

quarantine blogging

I was working on a huge thing about self-quarantining, but I realized my feelings on people staying home and people going out and states reopening and blah blah blah all boil down to … you know what, don’t spit on other people, okay?  Literally or metaphorically.  Even without a pandemic. (Okay, yes, some people deserveContinue reading “quarantine blogging”

quarantine blogging: in which i rant about animal crossing

Or maybe not rant, per se. I am building a second floor on my palatial three-room estate up in the cliffs of our island, overlooking the water.  I have begun an experimental flower bed for cross-breeding; I have a little hill where I plant all the extras of everything and see what happens (what happensContinue reading “quarantine blogging: in which i rant about animal crossing”
