Words written and spoken

Here are some stories of mine, along with a few interviews and a reading. Enjoy!

For the last two years, I've been a writer on Tremontaine, a critically acclaimed innovative project of weekly serialized fiction set in the fantasy world of Riverside created by Ellen Kushner in the classic mannerpunk fantasy Swordspoint. Ellen remains the heart of Tremontaine, assisted by a diverse group of writers whose combined talent is off the charts. I am in awe to be part of this team! 

In Season 1, I contributed one novella-length episode, "Lies in Our Stars," and in Season 2, I co-wrote a novella-length episode, "A Rushing of Wings," with Racheline Maltese. I'm excited and thrilled to be back for Season 3, which we are planning now! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!

Individual episodes can be downloaded for e-book reading and audiobook listening pleasure! In addition, the individual episodes of each season are collected in a single-volume work that can be purchased by clicking on the top cover image to the right.
