September 2021 update

Recent Publications

A poem titled “Just Another Quest” was included in New Tales of the Round Table. I really enjoyed reading this collection, which includes poems from several members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association, and was produced in my home province of Ontario.

Published by The Roasted Poet, with details at the link below:

A poem titled “This Future at Least Has Cows” appeared in Parsec Ink’s Triangulation: Habitats, (part of the Triangulation Anthologies), August 16, 2021. Like several other speculative poems I’ve written, this one was inspired by a news article.

What I’m Working On
Rhonda Parrish has an anthology call pending for “Pirating Pups.” I couldn’t resist this one so I’m working on a Quicksilver and Pepper story to send in once the submission window opens. I’m also in process with a story idea for Microcosm’ Bikes and Books anthology, as well as finishing some pending reviews for various publications.

What I’m Working On
I still have a number of book reviews that I’m chipping away at. I'm also working on a short story for a call-out for an “Arthropod Anthology.” (This from someone who, as a child, was not a fan of spiders.)

Coming Soon
I have some poems scheduled to appear in Hiraeth Publishing’s Scifaikuest (online and print) in August, and some short stories and poems slated for publishing later in 2021.
