Welcome!

I'm a science fiction and fantasy author who loves dark science fiction, cheerful horror, and modern fairy tales.

My stories appear places including Tor.com, Escape Pod, and Odyssey Magazine.

New! Pre-order my novella, The Unkindness of Ravens, a story of trickster gods, favors owed, and a royal heir desperate to protect his House from a plague-driven war, now available for pre-order at all major ebook retailers.

Meanwhile, you can listen to some of the stories in the Ghosts on Drugs podcast!

All the tales in Ghosts on Drugs include some version of at least one ghost who's on some version of at least one drug. Both key terms are broadly defined—e.g., a ghostwriter hooked on cough syrup could fit, and a dead ancient god with an inhumanly intense craving to be worshiped again could too.
