The current on-line issue of NEBULA is out. Pages 64-72 (just over 2K words) is my story "NO THING BESIDE REMAINS." It's short and simple and I think one of the best things I've ever written. I hope you'll give it the 5-7 minutes it needs. online.fliphtml5.com/kdqtq/jssu/#...

Yesterday was a good day. One story published, another posted as earning an Hon. Mention in a big contest, AND I saw a photo I took on a museum wall.

@clkagmi.bsky.social Just a quick note to say I’ve read Firstborn. Excellent writing, strong style, and some timely stories. After The Upload is especially chilling and a great morality tale. I’d call it the best short story I’ve read in quite some

A new piece of writing I'll submit to Nebula, the on-line Sci-Fi magazine on Facebook (I encourage you to join the group). This one is dark -- part science fiction and part horror. If you don't like giant space leeches it may not be for you.

Some billionaires have islands that launch a wide variety of super cool rescue machines… like the Tracy's (and their super rich friends) International Rescue Thunderbirds.
Be like the Tracy’s.
Just sayin'.
