Time Travel Is Easy is officially out in the world! Dinosaurs and Deep Time are thematic links to queer embodiment, childhood trauma, and life in the late Anthropocene. Cover art by the amazing Helen Whistberry. (Non-Amazon options coming very soon!) www.amazon.com/dp/B0G344X8L7
Cover art for my book Time Travel Is Easy. It depicts the skeleton of an Archaeopteryx against an abstract tree design, with a dragonfly and feathers around it.

You might not have noticed, but the tower isn't just made of stone. Look closely and you'll find a bit of everything cobbled together. Not unlike the subject of today's flash fiction...

this is a comic about submission fees
A four panel comic titled, “Submissions.” A small red robot sits at a laptop in all four panels. In the first panel, he says, “formatted correctly… check! Name removed… check!” In the second panel, he says, “submitted during a one hour period in the middle of the night… check!” In the third panel, he says, “hmm… proof of belonging to a dark literary cult. Where did I put that?” In the fourth panel, he says, “wait… submission fee!? $#@! Never mind!”
