How much do you love magic iPhone stories? If you’re on my blog, you probably like them at least a little bit (since my claim to mini-fame for April is winning a Cygnus Award for the novel, Cracked! A Magic iPhone Story). You’ll be thrilled to know, then, that there’s an anthology full of stories…

Flash Fiction Friday: Superheroic Affection
Flash Fiction Friday #10 Welcome to the final edition of my “Microfiction Summer” project! (Made possible by the Kickstarter backers for my latest novel Cracked! A Magic iPhone Story.)

Flash Fiction Friday: Mosaic
Flash Fiction Friday #9 The penultimate week of this Microfiction Summer! (Made possible by the Kickstarter backers for my latest novel Cracked! A Magic iPhone Story.)

Flash Fiction Friday: Identity Crisis
Flash Fiction Friday #7 Identity Crisis Inspired by Melissa Pagonis, who suggested “sushi, evening, purple.” The waitress ran a purple hologram-detection light over my ID and shook her head. “That’s not you,” she said.

Flash Fiction Friday: The Wise Man and the Wisent
Flash Fiction Friday #6 All summer, I’ll be posting a flash story every Friday. In today’s, I play with the “holy beheading” tale. (This is possibly a bit esoteric these day, but they were all the rage in the middle ages!) The Wise Man and the Wisent Inspired by Mike Kenyon, who suggested…
Flash Fiction Friday: Seattle Freeze-Frame
Flash Fiction Friday #5 All summer, I’ll be posting a flash story every Friday. Today’s is a contemporary piece set in my home city of Seattle. Seattle Freeze-Frame Inspired by Mark Hirschman, who suggested “camera, 5 p.m., matte silver.” Richard had no friends. He had a lovely craftsman triplex in Seattle, where he…
Cover Art for Hive & Heist
I am crazy in love with my new cover art for Hive & Heist. Look at that space station interior. And the colors! It’s so moody and heist-y and awesome. I suppose I should tell you there’s a whole day left to get involved with the Kickstarter for Hive & Heist, and that one of…
