PenDust Radio releases “Found Art, Lost Art”
For the third time, I have a short story included as an episode of the PenDust radio podcast from Rivercliff Books.

Nice review of Votes of Confidence 2nd Edition
Votes of Confidence 2nd Edition (and the first edition too), was specifically written so that it wasn’t about just one presidential election, but about elections more generally, including state and local ones.

Second PenDust interview

“Haricots Noir” in Door is a Jar
The new issue of Door is a Jar magazine is out. It’s also available at Amazon as a print book and Kindle book. It includes my ridiculous Taco Bell-inspired parody story “Haricots Noir” (that is, “Black Beans”) and is my second appearance in the magazine. An excerpt: I had just taken the last bite of […]
