There's a lot going on today, but there is also my story published by the good people AntipodeanSF. Of course, this wouldn't be possible without the Hinds Community College Quills, my writing group, along with edits given by @youaremore and Kristi Melancon. antisf.com

For some time, my wife has fussed that I tend to kill her off in my fiction. So, listening to her advice, I killed myself in this story published The Hooghly Review. Spoiler alert: it is still all about me. thehooghlyreview.com/a-dead-dads-co…

For a little while now, I have been writing robot stories, and I am so happy that “Daughter Knows Best” found a home in rare with Alex Parker Publishing. Alex Parker Publishing alexparkerpublishing.com

Another story about robots not wanting to kill their humans found a home at Corner Bar Magazine. This would not be possible without the support of my writing group, Quills. cornerbarmagazine.com/pdfs/corner-ba…
