Knight's of Malta is out! I have a short story in it. I've submitted a third, but I haven't heard if it has been accepted.

I've been plugging away over the last few months.

My second story, "Precursor" was accepted for Knights of Malta.

My third story "Family Matters" is still in queue, and they say it will be printed in Falcon's of Malta (yet to be released.)

My fourth story "Drover" went live today in Space Cowboys,

A fifty-word short storybook went live on Monday. These are 50 words long, but complete stories based on picture prompts given out at Marscon in February.

I have two more shorts besides "Family Matters" that I am waiting to hear back on. One is themed after Space Marines, and the other is themed after a pinup Photo by Hildebrant. I have my first novel with an editor now, I'm working through an in-depth read-through of book 2 as we speak.
Wish me luck.

Good luck but you’re on a roll so hopefully the good luck is already with you. Pretty darn cool.

Grouse, many of us are avid readers. Your acceptance, and elevation to writer, makes us jealous, and truly inspired. Well done, brother. Looking forward to more.

I have two new ones that have come out:

Space Marines: My story "One Way Out"

Falcons of Malta is the latest book in the Maltese anthology (and likely the last for a long while)

My short is called: "Family Matters"

Some fresh links for everyone:

When you finish with Falcons of Malta, take the time to look at Raconteur Press's other Anthologies.

I signed my contract for another short story coming out. The premise is "pin-up noir." I don't have a firm date on its launch. But I will keep everyone up to date.

Friday my illustrator sent me the cover for book 4. Of my series. I like it a lot. I have book two with a continuity editor right now, after she is done it goes to my copy editor.

I have book 1 back from my copy editor, and once I clear comments from book two continuity editor I will work on book one.


Some where in there I have one novella and two more short stories to write.
