My dystopian political story Unarmed has been published by Metastellar. It’s a story about a citizen fighting back against a cult-like authoritarian leader who is driving the country toward another Civil War. I wrote it in mid-2020, before the last election, and before the Jan 6th insurrection. It’s scary and sad how prescient it has ended up being. Hopefully life will stop imitating art before we’re this far gone. It’s available to read for free here.

Something’s Wrong With Mom, my short horror parable about addiction and depression, has been published by the Tales to Terrify podcast. The story starts around the 6:45 mark and runs about 15 minutes. It’s one of my personal favorites that I’ve written, and Tales to Terrify did an amazing job with it.
