Hate to Meet You

Released both online and in issue #6 of Edgar Allan Poe’s Snifter of Death, “Hate to Meet You” was published with a fantastic illustration by Peter Bagge!

This is another story set in Constance, IN (one of my obsessions) about two high school coaches and their immediate dislike for one another.

An anthology of short stories related to the city of Indianapolis, Mythic Indy will take readers through, around, under, and above the capital of the Midwestern United States' heart. thinmanlittlebird is the tale of two sculptures in front of the Indianapolis Central Library, and the forces which aided their arrival.

It's a sci-fi/fantasy exploration of the artistic impulse, and the merits of breakfast food. Maybe not so much the second one, but there is a mention or two of that particular meal. All proceeds from sales go to support Second Story, an Indianapolis-based organization helping young kids develop reading and writing skills.

Berasts

My story is set in Constance, IN, the fictional town I’ve been populating with characters and stories for a few years now. There’s another story taking place there available in the Free Stories portion of this site, so check it and the other stories out as well.

Comics

An original graphic novel published by Magnetic Press (now a part of Lion Forge), Re•pro•duct: Self-Applied is the tale of Carb, a bot navigating the same confusing journey all of us do, whether we're aware or not: of trying to become the person we want to be. His attempts are met with some familiar obstacles, and others unfamiliar. The world is shared by humans and bots, the latter of which has been granted the right to life within the United States. Who is and who isn't human? There's a whole world to discover within Re•pro•duct: Self-Applied. (Link)
