About Me

A retired U.S. Army translator, I taught for three years, did post-graduate work in Chinese studies, and all the while wrote and wrote and wrote and finally turned rejection slips into acceptances. Since 1 January 2000, when my first story was published, I've had some eighty short stories and two novels published, and about two dozen poems, including a third-place Rhysling. I write primarily soft science fiction, some dark fantasy, and the occasional spooky horror. I'm also the Managing Editor of Sam's Dot Publishing, which, if you're reading this, you should afterwards hie yourself on over to www.samsdotpublishing.com and check out our purchase center and buy something...preferably something by me, but we have lots of good reading material there in the Purchase Center.

That Zombie Story

The Zombie story got finished with about 47 seconds to go--the deadline was 25 May 2007.  Unfortunately, it was turned down.  I suspect foul play.  However, every story I have ever writ...

Writing An Historical Zombie Story
