New stuff alert!
The longer, expanded story of A Boy and His Monster will be in the upcoming Write Like Hell Volume Three: Kaiju! And what’s kind of neat to me is, this isn’t a gay anthology. It’s just monster stories. Because a love of giant beasts knocking down cities knows no sexuality.
Read MoreSome new covers for you …
Well, I went to fiverr, and found a great cover artist! She’s germancreative ion there, and I recommend her to those who need a cover done quickly. Here are the ones I have so far (and yeas, I wanted Shift’s cover to echo Life After Death. Deliberate choice on my part!) – These should be filtering out to most ebook retailers, assuming Amazon doesn’t block me from selling because a pirate site has my book. Ha ha! Cross your fingers for me. This has happened one too many times....
Read MoreInfected: Bloodlines finally out again
This time with a neat new cover by TL Bland. In case you’re wondering, no, there’s no new material beyond the cover. So if you’ve been waiting to get your heart broken, here’s your chance! Should be at all your favorite ebook providers, but here’s the link to Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Read MoreRandom Song Monday
So we’re all still home, ideally avoiding people, and as such, I thought I’d bring back the five random song pull. Because, what else is there to do? And also, maybe you’ll find some new to you music you might like. Let’s go! Bartees Strange – Lemonworld This is a very interesting project, where the singer takes and reinterprets The National songs. If you don’t know The National, they make generally depressing music, but also, pretty white. You’d think that wouldn’t make a difference, but it does. Check it out, even if you don’t like The National. Gold – Tar and Feather At some point, I hope something cheerful pops up. Of course, now I’m wondering if I have anything cheerful on my ipod. (Yes, I still use one. I use a...
Read MoreFlash Fic – A Word From Our Sponsor
I initially wrote this for Queer Sci-Fi’s recent collection call, but this didn’t really meet the brief. So enjoy the latest in weight loss technology. ** (Fade in, generic Doctor’s office) Doctor (sternly): You have to lose at least twenty pounds. Patient (frustrated): But my low wage job means I can only afford calorie-rich processed foods, not fresh food like the one percent can afford! (Voice Over – a confident-sounding man) Has this happened to you? You want to lose weight, but diets and exercise equipment cost too much money. What are you supposed to do? (Smash cut to two ten year old girls walking through a field of wildflowers) V.O.: Introducing Vermilia, the new product by Amtechco Laboratories. Not a drug, or...
Read MoreBandcamp’s Friday Sale!
Bandcamp is having a sale Friday, starting at midnight, with all the money going directly to the artists. In order to support that, and maybe help you find a new(ish) band you might like, I decided to list some of my favorites. Links included!

Read MoreThe first chapter of the in progress Infected novel
Okay, yeah not the best series title to have right now. But I wanted everyone to know I’m still working on this, and what better way is there than to prove it in print? But here’s the deal – this is first draft. So it’s messy as hell. As long as you don’t mind that, enjoy! (And no, I don’t have a title yet. Of course I don’t. It’s always the last thing.) 1 – Royal Pigs Roan honestly hoped Dylan wasn’t going to kill him for this. Although he wouldn’t blame him if he did. He was supposed to be retired from all of this, and basically he only talked Dylan into letting him do his private detective thing again if he took unambitious, not at all dangerous cases. This one was supposed to be...
