I’m tearing up and can’t stop smiling. This is my first nomination. For anything. No matter what happens from here, this means the world to me. So thankful to Chris Talbot-Heindl and The Bitchin’ Kitsch for this.
I’m really excited/proud of this one. Here’s another piece from AFTERGLOW, one of the most important ones, tbh.
This scifi/spec fic on grief and continuing consciousness in a robotic body sets up events hundreds of years in the future.
Huge thanks to Idle Ink for homing this.
Here’s the first piece from AFTERGLOW being pubbed, and in the amazing Sledgehammer Lit! This one’s a single sentence spec fic about the exact point of collapse. There’s an audio version too, so you can also listen to me read the piece! Big thanks to J Archer Avary for having me. 😊
I can now say I’m on Literary Hub! Baby writer Nick would be losing his mind rn. ICYMI, here’s my spooky post-collapse piece that first appeared in Maudlin House, “The Things We’ll Remember.” And if you like this, I’m working on an entire novel-in-flash w/ similar vibes. Stay tuned!
Just got another acceptance on a piece from AFTERGLOW! Can’t wait to share this one with you guys. 🤘😁

Waldo is 1 today! Thank you so much for reading my story about a nerdy kid who came from the torn up part of town. Think I might make a pilgrimage there today to celebrate. 😊 And if you haven’t read this yet but want to, you can get it from your favorite indie bookstore here!
I had the joy & honor of talking with my friend/mentor Angela M. Brommel for The Citron Review. I’ve said it before: without Angela and Citron, there would be no (mac)ro(mic). This is a very cool full circle moment for me. 😊 You can read the full interview here!
It’s my birthday, and THE BROTHER WE SHARE is out in the world! Couldn’t ask for a better bday present. 😊
Y’all have already made this day amazing. 👇 Thank you to Red, Alien Buddha Press, & all of you!!! You can buy a copy here!
