Life in Alaska... dip netting for red salmon in the Kenai River. In contrast to rod-and-reel fishing, which we call "combat fishing" here, the vibe is totally chill. It's a little community on the shore, with people cheering each other on and helping as needed.

If you need a break from watching the US government self-destruct, I highly recommend Flow (2024). It's a gorgeous, quiet, reflective film well worth your time.

I'm excited to share the new cover of my novel by the incredibly talented artist @blackbirdcd.bsky.social , who has captured the heart of the novel with this vignette.

Now available via Kindle Unlimited!

I've long been a fan of Analog Science Fiction and Fact, so I'm thrilled to share that my short story "Our Lady of the Gyre" made the cover of the Jan/Feb 2025 issue.

Take a look and tell me what you think!
