New Stories! Collection News!

My short story, “The Immobile God of Secrets” is now available from Cast of Wonders! It’s always super neat to have a story podcasted, and they did such a good job with this one.

You can also find my story “For a Song” at The Colored Lens.

The Blood of Four Gods and Other Stories is available in both print and ebook editions! If you like print books, this one turned out absolutely beautiful. M
