I had three poems published today in a speculative poetry magazine. One was horror, and the other two sci-fi. Thanks to the editors over at SpecPoVerse for giving these pieces a home. https://t.co/FrNRpvJfSr

Another story about robots not wanting to kill their humans found a home at Corner Bar Magazine. This would not be possible without the support of my writing group, Quills. https://t.co/BbeNjNNqoo

For a little while now, I have been writing robot stories, and I am so happy that “Daughter Knows Best” found a home in rare with Alex Parker Publishing. @alexparkerpub

For some time, my wife has fussed that I tend to kill her off in my fiction. So, listening to her advice, I killed myself in this story published @HooghlyReview. Spoiler alert: it is still all about me.

Excited to get my copy of Blink-Ink, which includes my 50 word story about UFOs.

Had a 50 word story come out in 50 Give or Take.

There's a lot going on today, but there is also my story published by the good people @antipodeansf. Of course, this wouldn't be possible without the Hinds Community College Quills, my writing group, along with edits given by @youaremore and @KLRMelancon.

Just in time for Halloween, I have a tiny story over at Tiny Frights. A big thanks to my writing group, the Hinds Community College Quills, for reading this during the summer.

Thanks to the people over @BakunawaPress for giving my short story "Favorite" a home. It is a story that started coming together years ago when my grandfather passed away.

Had a piece published today in @ShortBeasts. It was inspired by the time we adopted our cat, Jiji.

Their therapist said, “No more social media.” Yet each night they got on—not to engage but to let the glow of someone else’s words bathe their face in light.

The top of the glass drink dispenser cracked, so Dad threw it in the trash. But a neighbor stole it, filling it with dirt to let flowers flow from the top in clumps of broken blooms.

I'm honored to have a flash fiction piece accepted into the The FREEZINE of Science Fiction and Fantasy, which is about a professor who isn't honored about anything.

Just had this sci-fi story come out. It was inspired by sitting in carpool line to pick up my daughter from school.

A leaf swings from a forgotten spiderweb in Granddad’s garage. The spider’s long gone and now so is most of the leaf.

My son dumped too much birdseed on the stand we built. I didn’t yell much, but he still ran inside while all the birds watched silent from their limbs.
