  • The Best Part of Finalizing a Novel…

    I’m currently working (slowly but surely!) on organizing and prettying up the first draft of my third novel, and I love it. My very first novel did not find a lot of enthusiasm among agents, despite the public’s ceaseless enthusiasm for time travel. Ah well. I started writing it as the ultimate exercise in escapism…

  • Dispatches from the War on AI: the Fall of the “Myths & Legends” imprint

    I thought I’d start documenting the many, many instances of AI slop making human artists’ lives difficult, if not altogether impossible. This is the first of many entries. Back in March 2026, “Myths & Legends,” an imprint of Hearth Stories, announced their new anthology, “The Gren-Wode: Tales From Sherwood Forest.” The anthology would contain stories…

  • Microfiction: Truffle

    “It really does look like a mushroom,” I gasp in wonder at the ever-growing cloud. In that final moment before the shockwave obliterates my body, I think of childhood forest trips with my parents, and I smile. (Inspired by a quick mental tangent on mushrooms while brainstorming an altogether weekly different story.) Copyright 2026, all…

  • Microfiction: The Last Enigma

    It took us ages to rebuild. When we read ancient texts, they had many helpful teachings. Antibiotics, engineering… So wise. But one written command eluded us. Oh, how we tried! We fed handwritten invoices to rusted turnstiles, we shouted at old doors – but we never really managed to bill gates. (Inspired by stray thoughts…

  • Names, Novelty, Nuances

    I am trans, and I have many names. This latest and greatest is the only one I bestowed on myself, the only one I’ve picked deliberately, the only one that I truly and fully consider mine. The other names chase me yet – and will likely never fade away. I am in that strange liminal…

  • A new poem, a new story

    I enjoy writing. It had started as a tentative hobby at first, quite a few years ago. Gradually, slowly, in fits and starts, my skills have grown. I won’t be winning any Pulitzers anytime soon, but I do make a sale every once in a while. Here are my latest publications: “Those Who Dare” in…
