April and May 2012 brought four story acceptances--hurrah! Those stories will be out later in 2012 in Richmond Macabre II; The Old, Weird South; You, Me, & a Bit of We; and Loco-Thology, Vol. 2.

My most recent published story is a dark tale of an evening on the job as a private investigator, titled "Right Where She Wants Him." Did I mention it's dark? (You've been warned.) This story is in the really marvelous journal Needle: A Magazine of Noir.

My first vampire story was released last October in Richmond Macabre. This rather bloody story, "Hunting Joey Banks," features a PI searching for a client who's been abducted by bad guys.

"Cleaning Fish" appears in Chesapeake Crimes: They Had it Comin'. I like to describe it as a story about the healing power of murder. :-)

Chesapeake Crimes III contains my story "It Tore the Laugh from My Throat," and features a photo I took on Chincoteage in Virginia on the front cover.

My short story "Still, Life" won second prize in the 2007 Style Weekly fiction contest. 

My writing has also appeared in Neo, The Washington Free Press, and Gaia, and I've written scintillating certification exam prep materials for New Riders Press.
