Published Books
I’ve worked on several books for Duck Prints Press as well as some independent or self published projects. Novels, novellas, and anthologies for all tastes!
Independent / Self-Published
Horizon’s Crown was an Earther triumph; a stage at the frontier of the settled systems, a city of hope and dreams and infinite potential.
Then one man bit another.
Now, under the watchful eye of its orbital island, it straddles the line between dead and dying; a city of nightmares and endless sorrow.
Varrett Vild Vickers belongs into a pilot’s chair. He’s meant to dodge asteroids, to race dragons, not chase credits so he can pay rent while HC’s major demographic clicks its teeth at him and tries to eat his face off. But it’s fine. Really. He copes.
Or that’s what he tells himself, all the way until a woman falls from the sky and turns his already upside-down life very sharply sideways.
Armed with nothing but her worst-kept secret and a ledger of lies, Sophya Soulwright tricks her way into Horizon’s Crown, looking for not only her sister, but for redemption and a meaning to a life she’s never held dear.
What she finds instead is a city trying its hardest to live, and a man who courts death every step of the way. He’s infuriating, tireless, and after a glitch binds their souls together, he is now stuck with her.
The Edge of a World by JD River
A monster lurks under Otar’s skin.
It has destroyed lives and Otar lives in fear when it will escape his grasp again. But he isn’t the only thing that seems out of place in this world: a mysterious ancestor, the Ancients, left behind nothing but ruins and questions.
After the monster causes a tragic accident, Otar chooses to travel the Seven Lands to find answers instead of being executed. But time is running out.
When the summon for a newly discovered ruin comes, it’s his last chance to clear his name. On his journey he faces down slavers looking for easy money, and his former lover – who still makes his heart beat faster.
Then the excavation site finally reveals the truths about the Ancients, and it becomes clear that something bigger lurks in the shadows.
Otar’s connection to his monster could save them all from a catastrophe – but will he be willing to sacrifice it all?
The Edge of a World is a Fantasy Sci-Fi story about self-discovery, destiny, and paving your own path.
New Year, New You: A Speculative Anthology of Reinvention — Immortal Jellyfish Press
An anthology of diverse speculative fiction exploring themes of reinvention, re-imagining, and revolution, from Elizabeth Bear, Daryl Gregory, and alumni of the 2023 Viable Paradise Writers’ Workshop.
New Year’s resolutions and self-help gurus ask us to reinvent ourselves—be better, prettier, perfect. But the writers featured in this anthology know that promises of reinvention contain both potential and pitfalls.
One woman’s doppelgänger offers her a chance to fix her flaws — for a small price. One of Cinderella’s stepsisters discovers what she has to sacrifice to create her own fairy tale. Coffee shop regulars debate surviving an impending apocalypse if it means losing espresso. Against the wishes of her family, an eel-person yearns to reveal her true nature. A lonely, sentient ship and her human employee must learn to trust each if they both want to survive. A showgirl in a backwater lunar cabaret seeks cosmic fame—and will do anything to get it
New Year, New You contains stories of rediscovery through time-travel, simulations, and distorted realities. Of reinventions that challenge deeply held beliefs or require a change of perspective. Of mind and body alterations that interrogate desire and self-image.
From some of the emerging voices in science fiction and fantasy, comes a mind-bending collection of twenty-four tales that span the vast reaches of magic and space and delve into the intimate spaces between people.

How would Earth look if the very atoms around us were suffused with magical aether? How would our lives be different if this aether was discovered last year, or last century, or last millennia? How might the people who lived with this magic explore their gender identities? These are the questions we posed to the 17 authors who contributed to Aether Beyond the Binary. Their inventive answers comprise this must-not-miss collection about magical realms, adventures and mysteries, new chances and well-earned endings, and characters as gender-diverse as the worlds they inhabit.
To Drive the Hundred Miles by Alec J. Marsh
Serendipity, WA is filled with Christmas cheer, beautiful mountain views, and trans man Will’s feminist Wiccan family. Home for the holidays, he avoids their clumsy attempts at support by hiding in the local coffee shop and flirting with Bea, a friend from high school.
The beautiful landscapes can’t make up for the the realities of being queer in a small town, and Bea wants out. Will grabs for a prosperity spell, and finds a new way to connect to the magic he’s become estranged from. New romance and optimism get them through the holidays, ready to face their next problems.
Nick Porter has always loved hockey. Ever since he can remember, it’s been his favorite thing in the world. It’s too bad he never learned to play, he’d tell himself, but it was too late to do it now. Adults don’t just magically learn to skate and join a hockey team. That’d be ridiculous.
Except maybe they do? On a whim, he decides to sign up for an adult beginner’s class. He learns to skate, joins a team, and meets a really hot teammate… and it’s pretty much a disaster from there on out.
Many Drops Make a Stream by Adrian Harley
A memory-stealing cult.
The ever-watchful City of Eyes.
Making small talk.
Join Droplet as she faces all these horrors and more…Vigilante shapeshifter Droplet has trained her entire life to take down those with more power than scruples, but she still makes mistakes. When a rescue mission goes wrong, a memory-stealing cult of blood mages escapes with kidnapped captives in tow. To save them, Droplet reluctantly teams up with the outgoing, tenacious Azera. Droplet knows better than to trust a human—she made that mistake once, and that person’s betrayal scattered her community across the known world—and she can tell Azera is hiding secrets behind her sunny smile. But if they can’t learn to work together, even Droplet’s own memories could be lost.
