2023: A Summary
2023: A SummaryThe majority of 2023 was spent focusing on novels and novellas, rather than writing and submitting short stories. I only had one short story published last year, which you can read below. It's available for free on the website of the Blackwick Writers Guild, a writing group that is local to Denver. (In the interest of full disclosure, I am a co-founder of this writing group! If you are a writer in the Denver area looking for a group of fellow creatives, please feel free to reach out to me for more information.) |

What I've been up to: A short and sweet update for my first newsletter of the year, because frankly, It's been piece of bad news after piece of bad news since the inauguration, and I don't have any book, movie, or podcast recommendations to add to this newsletter. As far as a writing update goes, I've had 5 stories published so far in 2025: Issue 97 of Andromeda Spaceways Magazine is out in the world, and it includes a story I co-wrote with Kat Veldt called "Maintenance". Do you like sad...
This is a long one, so buckle up. A wintry walk in the Upper Midwest. My favorite time of year. What I've been up to: Stories: Since September, I've had another story published! This is my 4th and final one of 2024, and it took 2nd place in the contest that I wrote it for: "Two Earthlings" - TL;DR Press 1K Word Herd Competition Anthology Awards (sort of): Two of my 2024 stories are awards eligible and are on the Nebula Reading List for SFWA members!
