Call it cabin fever from being snowed in, and without water in the house for almost [...]

Coming soon in Steampunk Tales magazine

The first “penny dreadful for your iPhone”, Steampunk Tales, willl be publishing my story, Cubes, in issue 14.

Free or not free?

Lately I’ve been reading debates about challenges to internet freedom. While the threat that the US Government could potentially shut down what they see as problematic websites has been headed off at the pass meanwhile, a new debate has arisen.
