It's been a time. I was working on revising the novella I wrote for... Continue Reading →
I'm pleased to announce that my short story, "You Had to be an Asshole on Planet E 11-18" has been published in Infinite Worlds Magazine. I had a lot of fun writing this little sci-fi humor piece about not being a dick when encountering alien races. I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as... Continue Reading →
