Get it on Amazon: Phantaxis Magazine Issue #7 (November 2017)

Having a second story published with Phantaxis Magazine was definitely a thrill. Getting that acceptance notice by email is always a great feeling. With 'The Last Stand', I decided to take the reader into the depths of a tense and potentially dangerous intergalactic dispute. An evil empire forcing its superiority over lesser and younger species pits a Captain and his lone surviving battlecruiser as the last vestige of hope for his people. It features a heated space battle along with an array of diplomatic insults that would leave the sanest of ambassadors reeling. But is there something going on here, something more than just what we read on the surface? I want to thank the staff at Phantaxis for the great-looking issue and am enjoying the other stories published within this issue. A superb collection with wonderful authors. Congrats to all! The issue is available on all Amazon websites in print and kindle formats. I've seen previous issues in bookstores as well!

Get it on Amazon: Devolution Z Magazine Issue #17 (April 2017)

I have to say that I have had tremendous luck with Devolution Z Magazine. These people are really top notch. My latest published piece appears in their Issue 17 with a wonderfully rendered alien on the cover! There have been strange things seen in the skies around the world for as long as people can remember. For one family away on vacation, it's the best time they could imagine: enjoying the seclusion of their cabin on a private lake in the middle of the woods, as far away from civilization as they could get. At least it was wonderful until they started to see the strange lights... Playing on the classic fears of the unknown, I've tried to take the reader on a journey where they just might discover what is truly out there. Devolution Z Magazine is available on Amazon in print and Kindle eBook editions. Also available on Apple's iBook store, Nook, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords and Scribd!

I was extremely pleased to have my short story, 'Homo Aquaticus', accepted into Devolution Z magazine. I can't say enough good things about this publication. Everyone I have spoken with is professional, polite and-above all else-supportive. If you have a spooky story, make sure it deals with something supernatural as they don't accept slashers and such tales. Consider submitting your work to this publication. They take care of all small editing issues for you, but make sure it's been edited and polished to the best of your ability out of courtesy. They've also updated their internal copy edit and it looks great! 'Homo Aquaticus' takes place in a world where the surface has been ravaged by war. No life remains in this desolate wasteland. Humanity, what survives of it, dwells in underwater colonies spread along the continental shelves. But, as our species has always been inclined to do, there are those who wish to improve us through genetic manipulation and splicing. A mystery, a thriller and definitely a horrifying... Well, maybe you'll just have to read it. :D Devolution Z Magazine is available on Amazon in print and Kindle eBook editions.

Get it on Amazon: Phantaxis Issue #1 (November 2016)

My short story "Project A.E.O." has been published in Issue #1 of Phantaxis Science Fiction & Fantasy Magazine. I first found out about this market through Devolution Z Horror Magazine. After having several great experiences with Devolution Z and learning that Phantaxis is their sister publication, I immediately submitted my latest work. Sure enough, these people are the best. I've submitted to dozens of markets and many of them can be difficult to work with. But I have to give credit where credit is due. Moonriser Publishing, the owners of Devolution Z and Phantaxis, really know their stuff. They respond quickly to author inquiries, are very supportive and even supply personal editors in some cases. If you are thinking of submitting science fiction, fantasy or supernatural horror, these two magazines are amongst the best! As for my short story "Project A.E.O."... Imagine a time where a new species has just awoken for the first time from a type of cryo-sleep. They have been trained, each with a specific function in their new society, supplied with all the tools they will need and a city of the highest order. Their custodian and teacher, Computer, is there to answer all their questions. They've been taught that their progenitors died off from a terrible plague. But before they passed away, they were determined to make sure that life persists and so they created the AEOs. Life was good. Life was fulfilling. At least until many AEOs began getting ill. A dark secret would be revealed, one that would change the AEOs' existence forever. Phantaxis Magazine is now available in Amazon print and Kindle eBook editions. Also available on Apple's iBook store, Nook, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords and Scribd within the next few days!

Get it on Amazon: August 2016 Issue of Devolution Z Horror Magazine

I was very excited to be included in the 13th issue of this great literary magazine. Devolution Z prints a high calibre of supernatural horror fiction that makes for incredible reading! Reminds me of the old Tales from the Crypt episodes! Loads of fun! The August 2016 installment includes my short story 'Occupational Denizen'. Donald's just another average employee for a financial firm. He goes to work, does his job and tries, as best he can, to engage his co-workers in social settings. Unfortunately, he fails miserably every time. He's accepted that, but was always hopeful that he would be accepted one day, as a social equal. Until something changed. His personal office was vandalized late at night and his stash of personal snacks was pilfered. There were few things in life that Donald took joy in: his sweets were one of them. After a repeat attack on his personal belongings, he felt that this was the last straw. He was going to catch the culprit, no matter the cost. But the funny thing with using hidden cameras is that you tend to find things that want to remain... hidden.

Get it on Amazon: April 2016 Issue of Devolution Z Horror Magazine

Disorder in the Court is a short story collaboration written with Cordelia Vandenburg. A prosecutor and professional editor, Cordelia has incredible insight into the workings of the Canadian legal system. Writing a horror story together was both educational and quite fun. The story takes place at the dawn of a zombie apocalypse as it unfolds in a courtroom for one man. One very obtuse, arrogant and wholly despicable person, that some may come to hate while other's will love. We wanted to take the worst kind of human being and place them into the worst possible scenario. The end product: I hope you will enjoy! Published in the April 2016 Issue of Devolution Z Horror Magazine. Released April 1st, 2016 The issue is available in print and kindle eBook editions and features cover art based on our story.
