"My Sincere Apologies For the Demon" is out today in Beneath Ceaseless Skies #443!

It's got liquor, malevolent entities from other planes of existence, and a warlock getting bounced from the club.

Also art, I suppose.

@thomasha.bsky.social's short story collection has arrived! Absolutely terrific stories, in both senses of the word.

Pretty awesome month for my writing!
This month, I finished the first drafts of three full-length stories, one of which I had been working on for a while

Got a couple of very kind personal rejections on a flash piece. And made my first sale. Over the moon about that
But edits have piled up...

Very excited to say that I have closed my first sale!
Last year, I wrote a fun little story about demons and liquor. And now that story will be published in @bcsmagazine.bsky.social!
Details forthcoming.
But man, this is exciting.

Lots of time spent editing this year. Still managed to draft a few pieces.
Still a long list of stories to work on... ha. Ha. Ha.

Started a new project tonight! This one is about the information age, and cookies, and the role of the military in advancement of technology.
I have a sneaking suspicion it will eventually wind up trunked.
Also some nice little edits on the thing I posted about last night, which is... interesting.
