“Make It A Double” accepted by Dark Horses Magazine
My novelette Make It A Double has been accepted by Dark Horses Magazine for their August 2022 issue. It’s a cautionary tale of the “be careful what you wish for” variety, about the unfortunate consequences of unchecked envy and greed.
“Leftovers” accepted by Teleport Magazine
My horror story Leftovers has been accepted by Teleport Magazine. It’s a story about an elderly woman whose son moved out and left her to fend for herself in a decaying, crime-ridden neighborhood. She’s not worried about the junkies and the gangsters though—there’s something far worse out there.

“You Are Reading This Story” accepted into the This Is Too Tense anthology
My flash fiction tale You Are Reading This Story joins a collection of other 2nd person point-of-view horror stories in the This Is Too Tense anthology by Bag of Bones Press. It’s a self-referential piece of metafiction about a writer trapped by his own words.
“Breathtaking” accepted by the Thirteen Horror Podcast

“The Salt Circle” accepted by The Literary Hatchet
My weird fiction story The Salt Circle has been accepted by The Literary Hatchet. It’s about a man who turns into a slug and his wife’s misguided attempt to keep him safe. This is probably the weirdest story I’ve ever written, so I’m thrilled that it actually found such a great home.
“The Fog of War” accepted into the Short Horror Stories anthology
My horror drabble The Fog of War has been accepted into the Short Horror Stories anthology by Shacklebound Books. Set in the trenches of World War I, it captures a moment in the life of a soldier during a devastating mortar attack. This story joins my two other drabbles, Scrapple and Curiosity Kills, which were accepted a few weeks ago.
“A Free Man” accepted into The Mods anthology
My cyberpunk story A Free Man has been accepted into The Mods anthology by Shacklebound Books. Set in the same world as my novella Override, it’s the story of an escaped prisoner and his attempt to use a human replication unit to evade capture.
