I’ve got a story in here that I really love, and I hope you’ll love it too. ❤ Side note: the editors at Vast Chasm are some of the kindest folks I’ve ever worked with in the community. Can’t thank them enough! 😊
I’m about to devour this volume, but first I want to thank Jiksun Cheung for his incredible editorial work. Such an honor to be among the names published in Volume 2 of The Bureau Dispatch. Here’s the Afterglow piece I’m most proud of, a story in three parts: “May You / Live In / Interesting Times.”
Super stoked to have a story in here! It’s a kind of anarchic one from Afterglow, a piece with Wyfy in it called “Smoke in the Atlas Fear.” Many thanks to Anna and Julia for giving this such a great home!
It’s been a while since I’ve had two stories go live in one day! Huge thanks to Nuke at AntipodeanSF for picking up “Seeking Sounds.” When I got into Afterglow, I was worried about whether it could cut the mustard at established SFF mags, so it feels amazing to have a piece here.
Putting myself out there:
Editing is something I’ve been passionate about for 8+ years, so I’ve decided to go after it.
I’ve made a site with options for manuscript and flash/CNF editing. I’d love it if you could share with the writers in your life!
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. 😊
Just got another acceptance on a piece from AFTERGLOW! Can’t wait to share this one with you guys. 🤘😁

So the timing on this one worked out perfectly. Here’s a flash excerpt from The Brother We Share, due out 9/1. I put my whole heart into this, into that entire book. Huge thanks to J. Archer Avary over at Sledgehammer Lit for seeing something in this one. And if you liked this, you might like the book too. Pre-orders are available.
