publication – The Salon at Elfland

My short story, Gloryhound, is now available on Amazon Kindle as part of the anthology, Shoot the Devil Militia of Martyrs! Get it here.

Gloryhound: A beast stalks the woods of France, devouring men, women, and children with the cold, cruel efficiency of a man. Hundreds have hunted the Beast of the Gévaudan, but none are quite like Jean Chastel. He follows the Beast’s trail and prays for an end to the carnage. When a mysterious girl arrives, knowing things only the dead could know, Jean soon realizes that his prayers have been answered. But the hunt has only just begun, and the end is in the sacrifice.

My short story, Extra Credit, is available for purchase on Amazon. Fantastic School Staff features many great authors and is edited by Christopher G. Nuttall and L. Jagi Lamplighter.

Here’s the pitch:

Only enchanted treasure could drag a pair of master thieves back to school. Hired on as teachers, Pricilla and Chase must once again navigate the halls of Washington Academy, dodging teachers and students alike in order to steal Vivienne’s Locket. It’ll take all their skills, plus some extra credit, to pull off this heist.

I’ve learned a lot while working on this project. I wrote Extra Credit back in March of 2023, I was sick as a dog while finishing it and I didn’t have a whole lot of hope for it’s publication. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised! I hope you enjoy it!

I can’t thank the team at Fantastic Schools enough, working with them has been a real treat.

I’ll be featured in the 2nd issue of Anvil: Iron Age Magazine. Updates are to come, but I expect publication in Fall 2023.

For now, I would direct you to their 1st issue. It’s been fully funded, but you can still use the Indiegogo page to purchase the 1st issue or reach out to campaign directly. Publication for issues one is expected in July 2023.

Anvil promises to be an aggregator of indie IPs, especially drawing from the tradition of pulp fiction and comics. If this is the kind of writing you’re interested in, check out their website for more info.

I haven’t written much about my love of pulp, but when it comes to short stories, I draw much of my inspiration from the greats: Robert Howard, H.P Lovecraft, C.L Moore.

For this latest piece, I tapped into my inner C. L. Moore and wrote a female fantasy hero. But unlike Moore’s Jirel, I lean into the gross-out horror of 18th Century medicine. I want to see Amélia Mitre become a modern pulp hero worthy of my heroes.

Some exciting things are happening for me this year and I’m proud to share it with you. Further details are to come.

Update 07/24/2023: You can preorder Anvil: Iron Age Magazine Issue 2 here.

And, if you don’t already know, my short story, Egg, can be read in Cirsova 14, Spring 2023.
