Nooooow “Null(Void)” is on Nightlight
There was a schedule hiccup and my story came out a little later than my post. Now my short story, "Null(Void)" is available on Nightlight
Listen to Short Story “Null(Void)” on Nightlight Podcast
My short horror story "Null(Void)" has been picked up and narrated on Nightlight, a horror story podcast that features Black writers. You can listen on Nightlight and they are also available on iTunes, Google Podcast and Spotify. This is my first short story publication - actually, it's my first story publication, period. Yaaaaay. I finally have... Continue Reading →
“Runoff” accepted for Nightlight!
"Runoff" just got accepted for publication on Nightlight, a Black horror story podcast. I am super stoked about this! I am also glad that I snatched "Runoff" off Wattpad, tightened it up and sent it in to publications. It got rejected about twice (definitely at least once) before finally being accepted. Moar details once it... Continue Reading →
Reflectors and Sexual Assault in Literature
Soooo, Reflectors has a sexual assault in it. For this reason alone, I'm not going to submit it for any publications but it's going up on Wattpad instead. The act isn't super white-dude-writer gratuitous, just enough to definitely count. And to definitely strike me out from several publications right off the bat and for good reason....

Modifications!

It's double that now.) It's roughly 2,000 words shorter than The Glassman, which was intended to be a novelette. With In... Continue Reading →
Moar Changes and Submissions
So, "In Search of Amika" will have to eventually be taken down from Wattpad because it is about to get submitted for official publication to a literary magazine. Honestly, I think a lot of my works are running about the submission mill. A new short story titled "Watershed" is about to get added to the... Continue Reading →
The Glassman, changes and availability
I managed to finish the novelette, The Glassman. It's a story about a rocker that develops an ability to control glass. This affects his band as well as the very people he cares about. But it's not the glass that's the problem. It's not the best glimpse but it's 2 AM and I'm tired. I am... Continue Reading →
Working on Kinetics, Mika’s Rocket and Butterfly
So, just recently, I got another in the can, I finished Kinetics. I'm really excited about this novella as, just like Butterfly, it has been sitting in the idea fountain for about 15 years. I still have the floppy disks and typewritten copies that they originally sat on. Butterfly is a novel but Kinetics is a novella at almost... Continue Reading →
