Another story published!

Another story I wrote was published recently, this time by dieselpunks.org in their newest e-pulp sampler  anthology. It's called "The Rocket Molly Syndicate," and is a high octane adventure set in an alternate 1930's Chicago. You can download the e-pulp sampler for free on Amazon, Lulu, Smashwords, and a few other e-book sites. The link for Amazon is included below:

This is a very personal story to me for one reason. Last year, my mother had a battle with uterine cancer, during which she lost 50 pounds in 10 weeks and was very ill.(This is also the reason I haven't maintained this blog lately). I wrote this story while I was in the waiting rooms of doctor's offices and hospital labs with her. This story kept me sane at that time. I'm promoting it for more than sentimental reasons, though. The Dieselpunks E-pulp Sampler 2 is one of the most imaginative anthologies I've read in a long time, with contributions from many talented writers envisioning a past that never was, one where the future was built on adventure and technology. If you like 30's era pulp novels, or are a fan of movies like The Rocketeer and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, this e-book is for you!
