Speculative mystery writer and game designer. Writes about the #future, #hope, and murder, often in the same story. Here I'm mostly going to be posting about #mystery #writing. I love positive #tech that aims to help the world and not tempt us to exploit the masses. May talk about #games from time to time. One day, I'll make a game designer detective.
🏳️🌈 My characters are #queer because I'm queer and I'm not sorry about it. Pronouns are he/him or whatever you want.

Just received the (digital) diploma for my MFA in creative writing (SNHU). It was a wild ride, and I've got a novel I love out of it (near future police procedural where policing has drastically changed).
Now, I just need an agent 😅

Recently, I came across some curious technology that purports to be able to put your brain on "do not disturb" so that you can fall asleep easier. Being the writer I am, I wondered, can I use this in my near-future settings? I explore the idea here:

I wrote this very short flash crime story for an event with Sisters in Crime last month and I thought I'd share it with you all. I hope it provides a nice few minutes of distraction for you today!

Just got the email with the final proofs of Crimeucopia: Great Googly Moo! in which my mystery novelette "Bear and Bird in the Snow" will appear when it releases on the 19th.
Very excited for this to come out. I wrote it almost two years ago for Murderous Ink Press's LGBTQ mystery anthology, which sadly fell through.
It looks like you can pre-order it now from Waterstones (not up on Amazon yet).

Hey all! I wrote a story called "The Patchwork Boy" and it came out today in this year's volume of Nightmare Fuel, by Cloaked Press!
The story is about Benjamin, a lonely quilter who is just about to make the worst mistake of his life. Read on as he stumbles headfirst into a new relationship that has all the hallmarks of the past.
