Anthologies
“Supply and Demand Among the Sidhe” (Strange Economics) – Aug 2018 – Workshopped at Paradise Lost in San Antonio. This one started out as a thought experiment about goblins and changelings but ended up a humorous tale about the leprechaun mafia.
“The Astrologer of the Fifth Floor” (Abandoned Places) – Mar 2018 – Probably the only time I’ll share a table of contents with Ray Bradbury, Dashiell Hammett, and Edgar Allen Poe!
“The Long View” (Reading 5X5) – Mar 2018 – I supplied a story seed, and five writers built tales around it. For more information about this fundraising project, check out http://x1.reading5x5.com.
