My Year in Prose Fiction
I feel super excited about how well things are going in my career as a horror poet, but at the same time I feel like I don’t want people to forget that I also write prose fiction. My poetry seems to be quickly overtaking and usurping my prose fiction career, but I also had three short stories out in the past year: “Blind Pig Shakedown” in The Green Hornet and Kato: Detriot Noir City, “Poppies for Andris” in A Crack in the Code (Mocha Memoirs Press), and “Red is the Color” in the final issue of Sirens Call Magazine. I had an essay in FumpTruck “An Open Letter to Your White Savior Complex.” There is a fourth 2025 short story acceptance that I can’t announce yet.
I also had several works of flash fiction in Weird Fiction Quarterly: “Carcass,” “The Incubus Paramore”, “Journey to Midnight,” “Spiral into Madness,” and “Showdown at the Uncanny Valley Mall.”
And of course the third book in the Metamorphoses of Flynnn Keahi series, Insatiable (Mocha Memoirs Press) is in editing and should be coming out later this year or sometime next year.
