A Little About This List….

I sold my first story when I was thirteen to Sword & Sorceress VII. Every now and then, I somehow repeat the magic.

Selling a story when you are a teenager is a lot like putting things on public social media when you’re a teenager: somewhere in your twenties you begin to regret it.  Then you get into your thirties and say, “Eh.  Oh well.”  And I’m guessing later, in my forties, I might be proud of my teenage self, as I watch my children grow and wonder at the things they accomplish.

I don’t really think my early stories are the height of great storytelling, but I won’t stop people from reading them.  Just remember I was still going through acne, and bullies, and other assorted bullshit at that age.  And it is not that I don’t still have those problems.  I am just better equipped to handle them now.
