My poem "What Can Go Wrong on a Colonistsicle Ship" has appeared in Star*Line, 49.3. It was written before the Project Hail Mary movie came out, as a response to realizing that I'd read nearly a dozen "colony ship" stories in the last couple of years, and they all had the same central elements.
The online magazine Samjoko has republished my short story "The Right Thing". The story has not been available to the public for many years. I rather liked this one, so I am very pleased to have it available again. www.samjokomagazine.com/the-right-th...

Workshop warning. I am, once again, trying to help my colleagues with Point of View. I will touch on the technical bits, but the emphasis is using it as a tool to pack more punch in the stories. And have more fun writing them. pennwriters.org/content.aspx...

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

I’ll be teaching two half-day intensive in-person workshops for Pennwriters, the day before the Conference begins. That’s Thursday the 15th, and you don’t have to be a Pennwriter or attend the regular Conference to sign up for the intensives. pennwriters.org/content.aspx...

It seems that many folks who are in Pennwriters, and billions of people who aren't, are unaware of the Thursday Intensive workshops that take place the day BEFORE the Conference. Whole separate thing. I'm teaching two of them, and I promise to elevate your game. pennwriters.org/PreCon_Inten...

I have learned that RUNE is publishing my poem "Soldier, Missing" in this year's edition.
I was in Louisville, so missed announcing this when it came out: thebookendsreview.com/2025/03/17/o...

The Man in Front of It - The Bookends Review

It is by will alone I set my story in motion. It is by coffee that thoughts acquire speed, the pages acquire stains, the stains become a nuisance. It is by will alone I set my story in motion.
My short story "The Man in Front of It" is scheduled to appear in The Bookends Review on March 10.
My short story "A Whole Generation" has appeared in the current issue of Analog Science Fiction & Fact. I'll admit, it's one of my favorites.
I am pleased to announce that my poem "Chaturanga" (for the game, not the yoga pose) has appeared in The Main Street Rag, Winter 2025.
Got the Bread Loaf Writer's Workshop flier, and thought, "I wonder if I'd get anything out of that?" I noted only one writer whose work I knew on the faculty, but I don't keep up on the Literary side anymore. Then I saw the price.
