“Bella and the Blessed Stone“

The multi-talented and charismatic Nicole Imthurn read my short story “Bella and the Blessed Stone” live on her show Radiovert on WFMU radio, July 24, 2019. The performance is archived on her site, or you can click here to pop up the recording and play it now. “Bella” was originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, March/April 2019.

“Carp Man“

Ellen Datlow published my short story “Carp Man” in The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror, Twelfth Annual Collection, in 1999. The story first appeared in the Tampa Tribune Fiction Quarterly (1998) under the title “She Might Have Been Yesterday,” edited by Rick Wilber.

I had the unique pleasure of hearing actor Emmett Michie read the story on the podcast Disturbing Frequencies in 2017. You can listen to Emmett’s reading and a short interview with me after the performance.
