Finished stories

Broad Strokes — Paul pulls into his suburban Virginia driveway and answers a call from a dead man's number. An intelligence thriller about remote viewing and the people who never really leave the game.

Death God — Japanese mythology holds that some blades have a killing spirit of their own — and that a god is born when it gains its first worshipper. What happens when a killing sword becomes a god? (Illustrated by the author)

She Feels Too Much — "She feels too much," the older man said. "She is not a she. She is an it." The TS-320 doesn't feel at all — it merely receives data and reacts accordingly. Or does it? (Adult themes — 18+)

Swipe Right — A crude, feral satire of a world where dating is compulsory and the state runs your love life. (Adult themes — 18+)

World's Worst Paladin — a fantasy novel (chapters 1–6). It opens on Rhapsody: a drunk, a tavern table, and a fat man with a mug of ale.

God Damned Brain Pirates — "God damned brain pirates!" Brandon Barnes bellowed, slamming his ham-hock fist into the mahogany conference table. (chapters 1–5)

Eeky-Deeky — Clayton Wennberg: chemistry grad, master of nothing, competent at everything. (chapters 1–3)

Letters to the Dead — a Southern Wisconsin snow day, a radio full of school closings, and Kit. (excerpt)
