And Heinlein would have approved! Terry Pratchett said, "Most SF writers were once fans. There's a habit they have, not of paying back, but of paying forward; I know of no other branch of literature where the established "names" so keenly encourage wannabe writers to become their future competitors

My life's ambition is to be the creator of a long-running and wildly popular piece of serialised media where the first thing every die-hard fan tells every newcomer is "don't start with the first one".

My first short story to be published, "Karla," will be released in print in the December issue of "Down in the Dirt Magazine" on December 1st! It's already published online here:

Trigger warning: this is a horror story with brief mentions of abuse.

My first piece published, an article about 26-year old Ethan Hunger and his incredible fundraising campaign for the Bellingham Food Bank. This year he FAR surpassed his goal of $100,000 dollars, earning $230,000 in total. Keep an eye out for next year's events!
