Who am I?

Here is where I tell you who I am.

I write literary science fiction, fantasy, slipstream, and horror. My writing has appeared (or is forthcoming) in magazines such as Apex Magazine, Asimov Press, The Adroit Journal, Fusion Fragment, Lightspeed Magazine, Flash Fiction Online, The Daily Tomorrow, Weird Horror, and many more. My story “At the End of Everything” was selected for inclusion in Afterlives 2025: The Year’s Best Death Fiction. My stories have been reviewed in Reactor Magazine (“Eternal Recurrence was a July 2024 “Must Read”) Locus Magazine (“The Song, It’s Singers, and the End of the World” was a recommended read), Tangent Online, and Amazing Stories. I was the winner of the Protocolized Magazine Terminological Twist Short Story Competition for my story “Noise Ordinance,” and my story “Soda Sweet as Blood” won 1st place in their Ghosts in Machines competition. My story “Nine Theories of Time,” published in Apex Magazine, was a finalist for the 2023 Eugie Foster Memorial Award for Short Fiction. I am a two-time Pushcart Prize nominee, a two-time Best Small Fictions nominee, a Best of the Net nominee, an Orison Best Spiritual Literature Award nominee, and a Rhysling Award nominee.

I have lived all over the United States, including California, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Boston. I write about the intersections of technology, grief, humanism, futurism, loss, and love. My work explores the environment, technology, philosophy, science, the body, gender, aliens, and everything in between. When I was seven, my cousin, who was getting his PhD. in astrophysics, got me a copy of David Macaulay’s The Way Things Work. There was a section on nuclear fusion, and my first intellectual love was born: particle physics. A few years later, I got a copy of one of my grandmother’s books of English Poetry. In those couplets and stanzas I fell in love with words, and the power of writing, and my second intellectual love was born. I started writing stories a few years later and I haven’t stopped.
