It is here, IT IS here, IT IS HERE! Cowboy Jamboree Press is pleased as punch to kick off our 2025 publishing schedule with one of the best novels you'll read this year-OBLIVION ANGELS by the incomparable Sheldon Lee Compton. Gonna crow a lot about this one: cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/oblivion-angel…

Honored to once again have a story in the Mickey Finn series edited by Michael Bracken. “Quackers” is about the lasting effects of adolescent hijinks gone wrong.

It crossed my mind just the other day that I’m due for a Twin Peaks rewatch. I was amazed by the excitement and wonder I felt at the prospect of rewatching something I’d seen so many times before. But that’s what David Lynch’s world does. RIP to one of the greats.

Would be an excellent pick!

Cowboy Jamboree's spring issue-TOUGH WOMEN, GRITTY TALES-is live y'all! What a stellar lineup. cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/issue-102-toug…

Honored that Punk Noir chose my flash story to kick off its Dystopia series. Not my usual genre, but it sat inside my gut like a poison these last couple of months. I had to get it out of my system. punknoirmagazine.wordpress.com/2025/05/01/hig…

Murder, Neat, which I co-edited with Barb Goffman, and Scattered, Smothered, Covered, and Chunked, which I co-edited with Stacy Woodson, have both been nominated for a Best Anthology Anthony Award! Congrats to my co-editors and to the editors of the other nominated anthologies.
