April 2026 Update

I was happy to have my story “Till the Green Woods Ring Again with Laughter” included in Spring Into Sci Fi: 2026 Edition, Volume 2, released by Cloaked Press in March 2026. This was one of three fiction pieces I had published during March. 
 
Also of note: Colleen Anderson, Paula Johanson, and I will be co-editing an anthology on speculative sport, which will be published by Tyche Books. The anthology will include both fiction and poetry, and submission calls will go out this summer. Looking forward to working on this project.
