✨🦷ICYMI🦷✨ Horror flash, by me, now free to read online @apexmag.bsky.social !

With only a few days to go, wee reminder that my poem “In Our Bodies, There Is Heat,” published in @nightmare-magazine.com is eligible in the Best Poem Category. www.nightmare-magazine.com/poetry/in-ou...

I just reread Joe Koch’s story The Power Company Detective that will be in the next issue of Seize The Press and there’s such a raw energy to the prose, it rearranged my brain chemistry. Genuinely think Joe is one of the best writers out there and you’re going to love this story in the worst way.

Hexagon has a number of eligible pieces to be nominated for the Auroras this year! We had Canadian cover art, short stories, and even a comic drawn by a Canadian! The magazine, produced in Saskatchewan, is also eligible for Best Related Work! 🌾 Maple syrup runs in our blood! 🍁

I know Amazon sucks and all that, but I just learned they made the hardcover of House of Bone and Rain only $14, so if you wanted to get a hardcover for cheap, here’s your chance! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...

ANNOUNCEMENT: I am writing more books! THE DRAGON HAS SOME COMPLAINTS is follows a grumpy three-headed dragon posing as tame so he can eat for free at the local dragon riding academy. Unfortunately, his new rider is… *a lot*. From @dawbooks.bsky.social in Spring 2026!

My new drabble theme for the month is "Raging Horde." Sounds like I'll be writing some fun fantasy pieces this month. The first drabble is already written and can now be read for free. Come and check it out. 😉 www.patreon.com/posts/last-f...

New story day! "The Matador and the Labyrinth" is up at Diabolical Plots. Borges meets Hemingway. www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1... The image is from a kylix drinking cup, c. 515 BC. The inscription around the edge reads "The boy is beautiful."

I have started sending out responses for @apexmag.bsky.social's drabble contest. I received over 250 submissions so I'm sending them out in batches. I'll be making my final decisions for the three winning drabbles within the next few days.

Less than 23 hours but it's still possible. Being paid for my writing has really changed the game.

New poll for this month's drabble theme. Become a free member and vote. Next drabble with the new theme will be released on Thursday and will be free to read. The themes are: Endless Growth Hungry Void Raging Horde Tireless Wanderer www.patreon.com/posts/march-...

I was excited to receive an acceptance last month and here it is, out in the world. "Inking Is Knowing" is my third pro sale of flash fiction. There I am, on the cover. 😁🙌💙 If you want to help Utopia Science Fiction publish more great stories in the future then check below. 👇

We're now 2 thirds of the way to hitting our Kickstarter goal but with less than 3 days to go, we're all a little nervous. Proceeds go towards publishing original prose, poetry, non-fiction and art. www.kickstarter.com/projects/uto...

Mavka by A.D. Sui is about what it takes to survive and what survival takes from us. Set during Holodomor, a genocide that killed millions of Ukrainians, it's a must read now more than ever. I am incredibly honored to have narrated this and hope I did it justice. pseudopod.org/2025/02/21/p...
