Another New Story

Greetings everyone! I’m happy to announce my story, ‘Final Correspondences from a Dying Planet’ is now available to read in issue 83 of Andromeda Spaceways! Click here to purchase a copy! I wrote this story last year and wrestled with it for months. I usually write very linear stories, but I wanted to experiment with […]

A Writer’s Journal: August ’21

Stories in Progress: Book of Ilesa (formerly known as ‘Book of Elders’) Hello! Welcome to September! I personally love this time of year because the weather begins to cool and I’m able to wear one of the many, many sweaters that I own. It’s around this time where I begin to pray for some snow […]

A Writer’s Journal: July ’21

(This post is long overdue. I’m trying to enjoy summer as much as I can. Though I think my outdoor fun is starting to wrap up with case numbers rising across the country. But now I have some time to finally write this.) It’s difficult trying to recall everything I accomplished last month. I had […]

New Short Story Out Now!

Hello! Happy Thursday! I’m happy to announce my short story, ‘With Love, From Waystation 4’ is now available. This publication is meaningful for a few reasons: It’s my first new publication since 2019. It’s also a sweet love story that heavily features one of my favorite arcade games. AND it’s my first publication in a […]

May & June Reads

I originally wanted to post this at the beginning of June, following my usual timeline with this series. But I was in the middle of ‘Tristan Strong Punches A Hole in the Sky’ and wanted to finish it before publishing these. It took longer than I wanted to actually finish the book (damn my inability […]

A Writer’s Journal: May & June ’21

There were parts of the story that I absolutely loved and am eager to revisit. There are sections that I think slow the narrative down and could use a bit of polishing. Of course some of the characters need more ‘oomph’ to make them feel realistic and lifelike. But overall it’s a decent first draft. Not perfect. But not complete garbage either. And I think that’s an improvement.

A Desolation Called Peace: Review

Humanity and personhood are a major theme in this series. What makes a person? Is it use of language? Memory and how it affects emotion? Is it citizenship to a powerful empire?

April Reads

Another month, another (small) list of books. I put this post off from a few extra days because I hoped to finish one extra book before publishing this. But I have a while to go until I finish ‘Self-Editing for Fiction Writers’ so I’m putting that in the May Reads post. April went by in […]

A Writer’s Journal: April ’21

Switching from drafting mode to editing mode is not easy. Once I reached the ending, I took a week to collect myself and rest my mind. That week has extended into two, soon to be three, but I managed to email my beta readers and check that off my to do list.

A Memory Called Empire: Review

A Memory Called Empire follows Mahit Dzmare, the newly minted ambassador to the vast and ravenous Teixcalannli Empire. At the start of the story, her mission is simple: discover what happened to the previous ambassador and keep the empire from annexing her home, Lsel Station. But the simple quickly spirals into the complicated within Mahit’s first few hours in the City, the planet that serves as the heart of the Empire.
