What I'm working on: I have a lot of different WIPs that I'm half-heartedly poking at: a novella I'm pitching as KNIVES OUT in space, a novel about a galactic bounty hunter...
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".
