I write luminous science fiction and fantasy. When not writing, I watch birds, admire lichens, and play the accordion. In my writing I like to explore the boundaries of time, monsters and myth, and the concept of cats. Find my writing here:

Keep calling, keep protesting, keep organizing. Trump threatened to kill an entire civilization w/ nuclear weapons just last week. We can't sit around and ignore this for 2 weeks. It's our duty to stop him. Get loud.

I see some copies of Gargantua 👀 It has my short story "The End of Night on Second-Day" in it! Hester Cross, the last of a dead family line, resolves to liberate the sun from the thieves who stole it and to live one moment in the sunlight. If you're in Pittsburgh stop by and pick up a copy!

Probably my biggest pet peeve about listening to audiobooks is how some men do awful falsettos for the women characters. She simply does not sound breathy and mincing like that. Do a normal voice!

MS Word's autocorrect feature sucks so bad now. It keeps recommending me complete nonsense sentence structures. I typed the phrase "white knuckling my steering wheel" and it suggested I change it to "knuckling my steering wheel white." That's nothing. That's a nothing phrase.

This week I've been working on closing tabs that I've had open literally all year. So! Finally read "The Wretched of Middle-Earth: An Orkish Manifesto" by Charles W. Mills "The reality is that Tolkien is re-fighting not World War II but the Crusades." (p. 14) is an outlook-altering sentence.
