Happy New Year / 2019 Wrap-Up!

Happy New Year, everyone!

I thought I'd start the year with a little reflection on 2019.

So, here are some accomplishments on the writing front.

The following stories of mine were published:

​(Click the links to be whisked away to each piece or where you can buy it)

“Nobody But You,” a crime short story in The Dark City Crime & Mystery Magazine, volume 4, number 2, January, 2019

“Shadow’s Angle”, a weird short story (first appearance of exorcist-hitman Azuma Kuromori) in Occult Detective Quarterly #5, February, 2019

“Noose-Hungry,” a western short story (second appearance of Marshal Ernie Farrar) in Crimson Streets Magazine, February, 2019

“Wild Yellow,” a western novelette in StoryHack Magazine #4, August, 2019

“Above Water,” a crime short story in Tough, August, 2019

I also sold my crime novel Burn Me Out to Black Rose Writing and it's currently scheduled for publication the first week of September, 2020. (That sounds so futuristic a date.)

Additionally, I'll be working this year to polish the three novels I finished over the last twelve months: a light novel (YA) sci-fi/martial arts in a modern world where technologically-based magic is a reality; a rural police precedural set here in Vermont in the 90s; and a private eye novel set in 1970s Nevada (not Vegas, if you were wondering).

I hope to have more news on all of those items soon, so check back often.

Happy New Year!
