Oh, it’s been too long! Too long since I wrote about all the fabulous anthologies and onlines I’ve been fortunate enough to have been in!
One of the best parts of being a writer is receiving and reading all these great anthologies- I want to write about each tale and every author – but better you should read these stories yourself. If I write about every story I’ll never finish my new book.
I’m going to put a list with links and a bit about each publication – I hope you check them out because the writing is amazing! You’ll discover new ideas and ways of seeing, which is almost like discovering a new color or tasting a new kind of chocolate.
Please forgive me for listing just my pieces, but I can’t list everyone’s work or this blog would be an encyclopedia.
I am truly honored to be included in these publications!
Marigolds & Monarchs – Artpost– 2018

For Sale- Flame Tree, Cosy Crime Short Story Anthology, 201

This book will remind you that no matter what you believe, we make this journey together.

My day of the dead story, digital illustration by Fran Eisemann in this lovely publication!
Both Estevan and Ghost Island were reviewed in the thoughtful Tangent
Tangent was resurrected in July of 1993 with the purpose (crazy and impossible some said) of reviewing as much of the professional short fiction venues in the fields of science-fiction and fantasy as possible. It also features insightful articles and essays by some of science fiction’s most well-known names.
Special thanks to reviewers Geoff Houghton and Jeffrey Steven Abrams, and Dave Truesdale Founder, Managing Editor and Eric James Stone Webmaster
The Grammarian’s Grimoire – Re-Enchant –
Wander the dim-lit paths of enchantment conjured by 18 tales from an international roster of authors.

I was also nominated For the Rhysling poetry award and lost to Neil Gaiman! That’s a losing thrill. Thanks to amazing poet Linda D. Addison, who chairs the organization.
The Rhysling Awards are named for the blind poet Rhysling in Robert A. Heinlein’s short story “The Green Hills of Earth.” In real life, Apollo 15 astronauts named a crater near their landing site “Rhysling.” Nominees for each year’s Rhysling Awards are selected by the membership of the Science Fiction Poetry Association.
