Welcome
Update January 12, 2025: I'm still getting over the surprise of being announced as a finalist for the 2025 Philip K. Dick Award. Thank you to the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society, Norwescon, and SFWP for taking a chance on my newest novel CITY OF DANCING GARGOYLES.
Now, back to regular programming...
Much of what I write is crossover sci-fi, or speculative fiction off the warp-drive path. It's not about the technology and machines; it's about what happens when an ordinary person (or creature) faces extraordinary circumstances.
In other words, put our world in a snow globe, add a drop of weird, and shake.
If you've ever wondered what a fat cell writes in her diary, or how your teeth really feel about you, look no further. If you want to read about a beer-swilling mermaid, a murderous houseplant, or your friendly neighborhood spleen, you're in the right place.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you enjoy the stories, articles, essays and poems.

Ongoing: 12 Angry Lips fundraiser
For a donation of $25 or more to one of a range of progressive and humanitarian organizations, you can get a set of knitted lips. Yes, it's as weird as it sounds. Take a look here.
