It’s been just over a year since my last post. Yes, this blog has lagged terribly. Life just seems to be speeding up in incredible ways. There is more news than I have time for today, but here are a few highlights of last year.

There was far more I did but I was pleased to find that my poetry collection, Weird Worlds, has made the preliminary ballot for the Stoker Award. Whether it makes the shortlist or not, we’ll see. Either way, it is an honor that people felt this collection was good enough to be recognized.

If you’re curious about where to find the works above, I have included links below. In the meantime, I’m writing fiction and poetry, and continue to freelance edit. I’m also editing for OnSpec magazine in poetry.

Projects this year include finding a home for a weird, apocalyptic, climate fiction mosaic novella (quite the mouthful), finishing a collaborative collection of poems on transformations, finding a home for a collection of SF (mostly) horror poems, finishing a vampire novel, putting together a collection of fiction, and publishing my first novel, whether that’s self-publishing or not, it’s time to let it fly. Plus, of course, I continue to write fiction and poetry.

In convention news, I plan to be at Stokercon in Connecticut, possibly Worldcon in Seattle (depending on the political climate), and World Fantasycon in Brighton.

Hopefully, if I can keep myself focused, you’ll see another post before the year gets gone.

Weird Worlds is available here or on Amazon.

Over the years, WordPress has changed its features for editing. I have no idea why links won’t show in blue. It’s certainly not as easy as it once was.
