My cyberpunk story Set For Life has been selected by Dark Matter Magazine for their Zero Dark Thirty anthology, a curated collection of the 30 darkest stories that have appeared in the magazine during their first two years. Considering the incredible quality of all the stories in Dark Matter, it’s a huge honor to be included in this anthology.

My cyberpunk thriller Override was also published in Dark Matter as a serial novella in Issues 007, 008, and 009. Override is set in the same world as Set For Life, a dystopian future where desperate people sell themselves to a mega-corporation that turns them into AI-driven automatons in exchange for lifetime payments to their families. You can read Override and Set For Life for free on the Stories page.

My holiday horror drabble Trapping Santa has been accepted by Hungry Shadow Press for their Deadly Drabble Tuesdays series. Every year since they were kids, two brothers have set traps to try and capture Santa. But this year, something else is coming down the chimney.

My horror story Die On Your Feet has been accepted by Havok for their Thriller Thursday series. The story is an allegory about what happens to people who deny the reality of their situation, despite all the evidence telling them they are wrong.

“It ain’t real,” Grady insisted. “Think! Have you ever actually seen one of the things up there?”

“No, but I’ve seen what it does to people.”

Three of my sci-fi horror drabbles have been accepted into the Dark Stars anthology by Shacklebound Books.

• A young woman asks her AI assistant to help her pick out a wedding dress in The Fitting Room.
• A pair of astronauts wonder what to do when there’s An Angel in the Airlock.
• When a traveler to Jupiter awakes from cryosleep too early, he realizes he should have read The Fine Print.

My fantasy drabble The Man Who Was a Tree has been accepted into the Done in a Hundred anthology by NUNUM. It’s the story of a man who was turned into a tree, and what happens when the curse is lifted.

My ghost story Butterscotch has been accepted into the HAUS anthology by Culture Cult Press. Renting an apartment above a funeral parlor might freak some people out, but not Ellen. Not at first, anyway.

My underwater horror story A Sinking Feeling has been accepted into the Emergence anthology by The Writer’s Cache. It’s the story of two survivors trapped in an air pocket in a sunken ship at the bottom of the ocean. And they’re not alone.

Two of my short horror stories—Something’s Wrong With Mom and They Say Crows Can Remember Faces—have been accepted by The Literary Hatchet. These are two of my favorite stories, so I’m thrilled to have them appear in such a great publication.
