My story “Dog People” is out in Snot-Nosed Aliens: Stories from Pulphouse Fiction Magazine. This is a new story, one I wrote in January when my wife and I were up in the Grand Canyon for her birthday.

My horse. My friend. …

If all goes as planned that will hit 20%. Amazing. These stories are my first professional sales. See by blog post about The Disappearing …
It’s release day! A very special one at that.
