Holiday Hijinks – Haunted Holidays
A long-running series of themed holiday anthologies. This year the theme was Holiday Hauntings. I’m thrilled that my story, “A Little Christmas Spirit” was accepted. A woman who lost her own child helps the ghosts of other children celebrate the Christmas they never had.

42 Anthology
I believe the anthology is due to release on November 24. This is wild idea: 42 categories of stories, each with 42 stories, each story exactly 42 words long. The titles are also exactly 42 characters. My short is in the Mystery category. In keeping with the spirit of the thing, here are the first 42 characters (excluding spaces): “After the truck hit its rear bumper at 40 miles per h”

Treadwell House – Sanctuary
The first draft is finished. I’m now in the editing process, which could take a while since I’m updating several significant plot and character developments. I don’t know where it’s going to end up, but I do LOVE this story!
