It’s been a year, huh?

It’s been a while since I’ve dropped in, but I thought I should at least keep up the pretense of having a website and being a responsible author. Also, I have news!

Last year, I participated in the Imaginarium conference in Louisville, Kentucky. It was my second year in a row participating, and even though I ended up getting sick and having to leave early (also my dog got bitten by a copperhead, but she’s fine, don’t worry) I still got to participate in the short story writing seminar. Writers who come to the conference have the opportunity to write a short story in a set amount of time, and that story is then published in the Marathonarium Anthology!

This is the second time I’ve been published in the anthology. I missed the first time, much to my everlasting regret, but the second edition featured my story Night and the Perfect Blue. This year’s anthology features my newest short story, The Lives in the Spaces Between. Both are fantasy stories, and short stories aren’t a medium I usually write in, so I’ve really enjoyed the challenge of trying to condense an idea down into its purest form and sticking to a tight page/word limit.

In case you haven’t noticed, I tend to ramble.

I’ll put up links and when it goes live, hopefully this week, for anyone who would like to check it out. There’s a link to the second anthology on my books page. There’s a lot of really great stories here, written by some truly phenomenal writers. The Marathonarium is one of the coolest projects I’ve ever participated in, and being a part of it is a great honor for me. If you check it out, I hope you enjoy every single story inside it.

So that’s about it for now. I’ll try not to be so much of a stranger in the future.
