Today my short story “Fragile” is being released in the Summer issue of 96th of October. This is a hermit crab short story, so it looks like something that it’s not. Alien zookeepers come under peer review for their treatment plan after there are unexpected side effects.

During the pandemic, a friend—Michael T. Kuester— encouraged me to write, and while I think he meant something more grounded in the uniqueness of last year, this is what came out.

Also today, the Avram Davidson Universe podcast will be featuring me discussing the Avram Davidson short story, “What Strange Stars and Skies”. Avram Davidson was an award winning sci-fi writer, and he wrote one of my favorite novels – Ursus of Ultima Thule. I was so honored (and nervous) to be included in this. I talk about sexy lampshades and giggle nervously.

I deeply hope you, dear reader, had a rejuvenating Memorial Day Weekend. I would love to hear what you’re up to reading or writing.

May you be happy.

May you be healthy.

May you live with ease.

Take Care!
