SUBS WINDOW OPENS DEC. 1: For January, give us noir about dreams. Maybe it’s petty dreams about gangland glory. Let’s kick off 2026 by taking a look at “what dreams may come,” and what happens next when all your dreams come true . . . or don’t. Subs open from Dec 1-4: bit.ly/4fQLeGx

Well, shit. Was just reading a couple stories in the new issue of Dark Yonder when I came across this. What a class act Eryk Pruitt and Katy Munger are! Thank you, both!

I created, contributed to, and edited this series... so when it was orphaned by D&O Books closing down, it only made sense to publish them. I'm proud to announce that Code 4 Press (my imprint usually reserved for my own work) will re-issue A GRIFTER'S SONG!
