I love space. I like stars and planets, learning about all different space travel. As a sci-fi lover, it’s not surprising (nor is it surprising if you know my fiction). I also have a deep love of photographing the moon. It’s mysterious, bright, and familiar. This piece is a bit about that. Enjoy this extra-long piece for this month’s fiction piece!

Deviance
It’s been a wild few months for me! I started getting a little stir crazy and started volunteering a couple days a week at a horse rescue near me. It’s been really good to get outside semi-regularly and also work with really big animals. It’s very different from anything I’ve done before and I think it’s great to try new things. But what if you deviate too far from what’s expected with no reason?
The Obsidian Badge
A tale of ghosts, vengeance and billionaires! Enjoy this month’s fiction installment!
The Pirate in the Stables
This idea came to me while I was looking for some volunteer opportunities to fill some time. There was a retired horse rescue that got me wondering about what characters I’d put there. The thought of a pirate crossed my mind, so I started playing with this one. It seemed like a fun idea, so he might come back in another story one day.
Unity
I’ve always been a huge fan of space and space travel. Star Trek is a favorite of mine and I’ve always been curious about how a planet would react to a unified world government, especially the moment it was apparent that we were heading towards one. So here’s a short story about going from the final two world powers to accepting the unity of all nations. Where better to start cooperating than in space?
The Curse of the Ivory Witch
It’s October and that means it’s time for a good ghost story! I recommend pairing this one with a dark and stormy night, as well as a tense feeling of being watched in the darkness. Enjoy!
Forward Momentum
Hello everyone! I’ve been quarantining here in Connecticut for a little over a week now and been spending equal parts writing and spending time outside. It’s been nice to kind of reset from a very stressful move and take some time to get back on my feet. Hope you enjoy it!
Found Mysteries: In Your Hands!
You read that correctly!
If you follow me on any social media (which you should), I recently announced that my physical book came to my hands for approval! There’s a lot of emotions that came with that (namely shock), but it feels so good to have something physical in my hands! I had to make a few minor revisions that I couldn’t identify until I had a physical copy in my hands, but those issues have been resolved and I can comfortably say that the book is finally ready for you, dear readers!
You can get it online through the expected resources, but I highly recommend asking your local independent bookstore if they can order a copy for you! It’s available through IngramSpark and, if it’s needed, the ISBN is “978-1-7351463-0-0” (but it’s also the only book under my name).
I am so excited for everyone who was waiting for a physical copy to finally get their version, but I wanted to make sure that you were all getting the best possible product I could promise. If you bought a digital copy, don’t worry, none of the stories have changed.
Keep an eye out at the end of the month, as I’m going to be having a contest for the month of August for an opportunity to win a special prize!
Tea for Two
I’ve been drinking a lot of tea, recently, so here’s a story about ghosts and tea. It’s that kind of week!
A little bit of a shorter story this week, but if you’re jonesing for more, I’d recommend “Found Mysteries” as a great read!
Update for those of you who are asking, physical copies will be available soon! My proof coffee was shipped from the distributor, so I will enable distribution once I make sure there’s nothing terrible (like upside down pages, wrong size, wrong order or anything like that). While I’m hoping for a smooth release, I’m going with the Dungeon Master’s Code: “Prepare for Everything, Expect Nothing.”
Stay Safe, Stay Well!
Found Mysteries
Hello Everyone!
I’m making an announcement here that Found Mysteries: The Rebirth of Violet Franklin and Other Tales will be available for purchase in 1 Week!
I’m still working out a few last-minute details (Covid-19 really gummed up the process and that’s completely understandable), but I’m thinking everything should be on schedule! Keep an eye out for more information as we approach the release and the time after when we’ll be having a giveaway!
