It’s out!
Among Animals 2 is now available from Ashland Creek Press, featuring my short story “Phoenix Cross”! What happens when struggling chicken farmers gene-splice the company breed with a mythological phoenix? Well, not exactly what they hoped for.
I’ll be reading from the story at The Potter’s House at 7pm, October 14. If you’re in the DC-area, stop on by! Then stick around for the discussion with DC Stampede – a grassroots social justice collective for animals, people, and the planet. Details available on Facebook.
Hot off the press: Ares Magazine, Issue 3
Issue 3 of Ares Magazine is now available! My novella “Mr. Pell” (formerly titled “The Ogre on the Bus”) is featured, along with 9 other fiction selections. Carmen, Michael, and the whole team at One Small Step Games have done a fantastic job putting the magazine together, from the artwork to the layout to the selections. This is one you’ll keep in your collection for a long time.
My contribution “Mr. Pell” came to be waaay back in 2008, when I encountered a very unique person in green tweed sitting across from me on the UMD campus shuttle. In short order, I decided to create a story around him, set in the future of an alternate world I’d been imagining since at least 1999. And if that’s not enough to get you excited about it, then consider this: it’s the story that made my friend Ricky yell “Go Sweden!” at the end.
