If you saw the previous post, you’ll know that Knotted Road Press is having a “Going to Grandma’s Sale.”
The Raven and the Dancing Tiger is on sale for one week only for $0.99. Auberon and Darklady’s Carnal Archives are also on sale.…
The story this week was originally written for a Fiction River anthology. The spec for the anthology involved teens discovering their superpowers.
I wrote one story (The Glass Girl) but I was afraid it was just too weird. So I wrote a second story, this one, Mover’s Inc.…
I still can’t believe how lucky I’ve been to be part of the Uncollected Anthology.
We’re a collection of urban fantasy writers, and we come out with new short stories four times a year (roughly quarterly), each of us writing to the same theme.…
Community Service, like many of the other stories I’m publishing during this Baker’s Dozen Redux challenge, have received some very positive rejections. (This one almost sold but I was stupid and didn’t take the offer when I should have.)

(In case any of you are wondering, yes, he was being 100% sarcastic.)…

This story is historic fiction. It’s one of The Shadow Wars stories, the first one in The Guardian Hound.
I started my career writing historic fantasy. I’d always been fascinated with history, as well as with China.…
Continuing on this Baker’s Dozen Redux, I have a new story to offer.
Out of the Woods is a post-apocalyptic story. However, it’s more of a thriller than anything else.
Going back to one of my original premise, and the genesis of the Baker’s Dozen Redux–I rarely write stories that feel similar.…

For example, cover design. I am looking at covers all the time, watching trends and designs.
Every time I go into a bookstore, I look at covers.…
