My poem "What Can Go Wrong on a Colonistsicle Ship" has appeared in Star*Line, 49.3.
It was written before the Project Hail Mary movie came out, as a response to realizing that I'd read nearly a dozen "colony ship" stories in the last couple of years, and they all had the same central elements.

The online magazine Samjoko has republished my short story "The Right Thing". The story has not been available to the public for many years. I rather liked this one, so I am very pleased to have it available again.

Workshop warning. I am, once again, trying to help my colleagues with Point of View. I will touch on the technical bits, but the emphasis is using it as a tool to pack more punch in the stories. And have more fun writing them.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
