PUBLISHED: Biscuits (Dogbumps School for Wayward Wixards)

Somehow I didn't realize this anthology was posted last July until a couple weeks ago. Oof. But hey! This is technically my first work ever published. Never too late to celebrate :)

Biscuits is a story I submitted to Thurston Howl Press for their anthology, Dogbumps. Here's what Biscuits is about:

Nuru Abasi, a young student of the Dogbump Academy of Wayward Wixards, is in love with star Grembat player Eirik Ulfren. Unfortunately, Eirik doesn't know he exists yet. They're not even from the same house--Eirik's a popular Danimine, while Nuru's a no-name Azenhuff.

With the helpful (and unhelpful) advice of his Azenhuff friends, Nuru sets to overcoming his bashfulness and earning the attention of his Danimane infatuation. First step: Building the courage to introduce himself. Second step: Defeat a flesh-eating Manticore about to devour half the school, Eirik and Nuru included.

PUBLISHED: (un)Life is Hard

Thurston Howl Press published one of my (favorite) works I've ever written. It's part of a horror theme anthology. Here's the summary:

The excitement of the zombie-pocalypse has faded. Society has crumbled, nearly all sentient life on Earth has been turned undead, and little has been left for those still left behind.

Well, other than an excess of the mundane, to Martin's despair.

Martin and Nora, two pine marten siblings, have resettled in a cul-de-sac with other remaining, wayward folk of the apocalypse. The group is steadily rebuilding society, beginning with the return of HOA's and neighborhood BBQs. Martin always thought death would be a release from the dreary life he left behind--not eternal damnation back to it.
