I’m working on the fifth and sixth Rachel Peng books now. These will be released at the same time due to…that scene. This is an excerpt from Book 5 which sums up the origins of OACET and might be a handy refresher for readers. As always, this text hasn’t been copyedited and content is subjectContinueContinue reading “OACET synopsis”

Neverending list of things to do, October 2020 edition
This is a weird time to be alive, y’all. Like everybody else, I’m doing my best to keep a level head while the world is spinning. Pandemic plus global plus domestic chaos makes it extremely difficult to concentrate on work, but it’s not in my nature to stay still. So I’m reglazing the windows. No,ContinueContinue reading “Neverending list of things to do, October 2020 edition”
(Short Story) Ice Cream Social
I posted this story about Mako and Avery for my Patreon supporters in 2017. I thought it would stay in the archives forever: this story was me trying to wrap my mind around the Black Lives Matter movement and how it impacted every aspect of black and brown lives. Especially how parents would explain somethingContinueContinue reading “(Short Story) Ice Cream Social”
Two weeks after surgery
Dog gets his stitches out tomorrow. His wound is clean and there shouldn’t be any complications, so here’s a brief rundown of what I’ve learned over the past two weeks of caring for an amputee pet. They tell you a lot of things, the vets. I heard more than once that dogs are born withContinueContinue reading “Two weeks after surgery”
Books and Dog Legs
This is supposed to be a notification post that the second Joshsmut, The Dinosaur Heist, came out today. The first book in the series, The Russians Came Knocking, is currently free on Amazon Kindle. But it’s not just about that, as I’m pretty stressed out, and I’m a writer, and stressed-out writers tend to writeContinueContinue reading “Books and Dog Legs”
Return of the Joshsmut
Coming in January! One of the (many) projects I’ve been working on is the Joshsmut. These are eight novellas (30k-40k words in length) that follow national* playboy Josh Glassman as he solves crimes and engages in…well. These are sex romps. An adult sensibility is recommended, and being 18 or over to read them is absolutelyContinueContinue reading “Return of the Joshsmut”
Spanish Mission
The second Hope Blackwell book is now live! Hope Blackwell, the world’s second-worst psychic, is tired of dealing with both the living and the dead. Between wrangling the ghosts of the Founding Fathers, medical school, and dodging the paparazzi, she’s got her own problems (and that last attempt on her life left her more shakenContinueContinue reading “Spanish Mission”
Tank Crash
I used to keep marine aquariums, and I freakin’ loved it. Not just fish, no…I kept two different live coral reefs in my own living room. The small one was soft-bodied corals, the larger one was stony polyps. There were fish, yes, little flame hawkfish and small reef-safe coral beauties, and clownfish I had hand-raisedContinueContinue reading “Tank Crash”
ISSUES: Coping Strategies
This is a short story I did for Geeky Giving, a charity working to promote research in “Parkinson’s, ALS, traumatic brain injuries, brain tumors, Alzheimer’s and more.” They were kind enough to let me do an AGAHF short story for the charity anthology, so I did Jenny and Shawn: Jenny because she’s the researcher, ShawnContinueContinue reading “ISSUES: Coping Strategies”
Stoneskin
Sometimes a story gets into your head and refuses to leave. I can usually perform a minor exorcism in the form of a short story. I’ve got a bunch of these furious little demons sitting on my desktop, or making the submission rounds to genre magazines. Stoneskin was supposed to be one of these shortContinueContinue reading “Stoneskin”
