My zombie love story “You Had me at Rawwwr” is up at Drabblecast.
This one’s a favorite of mine, and I’m glad to see it get a little TLC.

My two short story collections are officially in the wild. This has been a little experiment of mine, dipping my toes into the ebook world. Delightfully Twisted Tales, Volumes One and Two are available in a variety of formats, and Volume Two is absolutely, completely and 100% free! Each ebook features three previously published pieces and one piece never before seen! Well, they’ve been seen by me of course, but the point is that there’s a bit of fresh material in each ebook.

My story “Skinny Jeans of the Zombie Apocalypse” is now up at Allegory! If you haven’t already had your zombie fix for the day, head on over there and check it out. Here’s a sneak peek:
Evelyn stared at the ad kiosk in front of the Gap, unsure if it was worth risking her life for thirty-five percent off skinny jeans. Fifty, maybe. The hems on hers were fraying, and her mother always stressed the importance of keeping up appearances, especially in times like these. Still, Evelyn felt guilty about splurging on her wardrobe when warm food on the dinner table was no longer a guarantee.
She peeked around the kiosk, ignoring the smacking sound of Chanti polishing off the last bit of her Wetzel’s pretzel. At least twenty zombies were hoarded up inside the store, shuffling and ambling, folding knit cardigans with minimal dexterity, and straightening racks of striped hoodies with mindless abandon.
Chanti nudged her from behind. “Come on, Ev. It’s not like they’re going to bite,” she said, licking the salt off her fingers, then puckering her lips.
“But I’ve heard–”
“Rumors,” Chanti scoffed, then pushed Evelyn inside the store.
In other news, I’m 700 words into my first Story a Day in May. So far so good! I also made a short story sale to Daily Science Fiction!
My debut novel THE PREY OF GODS is a near future thriller set in South Africa in which a diverse set of characters imbued with supernatural abilities by a street drug called Godsend must band together against a disenfranchised goddess who intends to remake their world and change the fate of humanity forever.
It's scheduled for release in Summer 2017 from Harper Voyager. Sign up for my newsletter for updates or pre-order now!
