My Short Stories

I’ll post links to publications as they publish my stories. I also produced a handmade zine of my own work: More Than a Little

Hellhound Poo  in  subTerrain Magazine

My short story “Hellhound Poo” came out in this literary magazine out of Vancouver. This is their “trash” themed issue, thus the garbage can on the cover. They seem Canada focused (“Strong words for a polite nation”), but my story takes place between Contra Costa County and Hell. It’s my first story sale at anything near pro-rates. As my story title suggests, it’s about dog shit!

 

Elaine and Galahad

My short-short story “Elaine and Galahad,” based on Arthurian tales and legends, came out today on Corvid Queen: “A journal of feminist fairy tales from Sword & Kettle Press.” This story has the highest density of profanity of any fiction I’ve written.

Dream Vacation in Sagittarius

in Space Squid Magazine

This one after I sent it to like 20 magazines over a decade. The title is because I kept a dream journal for 10 years, and I strung a bunch of sci-fi and fantasy themed dreams together to make this, perhaps my weirdest fiction.

I like the art they came up with.
 
 

Going Hyperdown

featured in Space Jockey from Misque Press

Available on Kindle from Amazon

I haven’t seen the anthology; it includes reprints of classics and original stories, all on the theme of piloting a spacecraft.

 

Love Crypt Under the Comet

in the Gothic Issue of Collective Fallout

Available in pdf from lulu.com

Or in print, also from lulu.com

Besides my own explicit gay zombie romance, I heartily recommend “In the Key of Orfeo” in this anthology, by NT Gaubert, a moving retelling of Orpheus in BDSM culture.
