Inspirations from The Writers Police Academy

By

A few people have asked me what my favorite part was about attending the Writers Police Academy in June of 2022. After saying the simple chance to take a road trip after so long at home—we drove from Virginia to Appleton, Wisconsin—I haven’t yet come up with a good answer.

That’s because pretty much every minute of the event was fantastic! I not only got all kinds of inspiration for crime stories (not to mention at least one science fiction tale so far), I also learned all kinds of fascinating things in general.

My Story in Uncollected Anthology: Magical Arts!

By

I’ve loved the Uncollected Anthology for years now, with an amazing group of writers creating some of the best urban fantasy out in the world today. So I was delighted when they invited me to be a guest author for the Magical Arts issue!

Of course I said yes, and the toddler who runs the writing machine inside my head immediately piped up with “Atlanta!” Which makes perfect sense if you’ve ever spent much time there, and if you’ve read my stories set there. It is a strange and wonderful city, and an ideal setting for a bit of fantasy.

Read on for more about The Findings of Magic now, with a release date of December 1, 2021. And be sure to keep an eye out for the whole Magical Arts anthology, because you won’t want to miss these incredible stories.

My Year of Short Stories and Collections (so far)

By

With August being my birthday month, I often take stock of how the year is going in all kinds of ways. Since this website focuses on my fiction, that’s where my thoughts turned today.

I didn’t especially plan it as 2021 came into focus through the chaos and confusion toward the end of the decade of 2020, but this has turned into The Year of Short Stories and Collections. And I’m having all kinds of fun with the writing and the publishing.

You’re sure to find a collection that suits your tastes for your end-of-summer short story reading!

Discover Cave Creek: Where the Unexpected Meets the Real World

By

So excited to see all of these stories out in the world, and delighted to have one of my own included! I dug into my nerdy fascination with flowers and pollinators for this one, with a heavy dose of my lifelong love of all things Twilight Zone.

You’ll find “An Impossible Desert Flower” in Open Ended Threat, and stories from a bunch of my favorite writers in all four volumes of the Cave Creek series, including two from Jason A. Adams!
