More short stories

I have released two more short stories into the wild:

“The Saffron Curse”, originally published in On Spec #108, is now available everywhere ebooks are sold.

“…a great romp set in a Vancouver restaurant. This was good fun.” (SF Crowsnest)

Chef Eddie and his partner Amanda luck into a cheap site for the new restaurant they want to build. The old man they buy it from warns them that the site is cursed and makes them promise never to use saffron in their restaurant. But Eddie isn’t superstitious, and when a career-making critic shows up asking for his famous Badaboom monkfish dish—which contains saffron—well, what’s an ambitious chef to do?

This short story was featured in Tangent Online’s 2018 Recommended Reading List.

“The story’s pace and prose bristle with the energy of a crowded kitchen.” (Tangent Online)

And “On a Dark Road to Nowhere,” originally published in Dawn of the Monsters, Issue 1 of Amazing Monster Tales:

When Naomi’s car breaks down on a deserted road in the middle of a Yukon winter night, she’s lucky to stumble across Maggie’s cabin. Then Maggie shows her what’s hiding in the woods around the cabin…

Midwinter Fae

I’m so very pleased to be part of this new anthology edited by Jamie Ferguson. It features 19 tales of faeries and magic at Midwinter.

On the day of the shortened sun
A battle between two kings has begun. 
The old year dies, and the Oak King rules
We celebrate with logs of Yule! 
But the Holly King is defeated, not dead 
To Caer Arianrhod he heads. 
Until Midsummer, when they battle again 
And the Holly King will once again reign…

It features “Midwinter Run,” my brand new short story, plus stories by Dalye A. Dermatis, Diana Benedict, Leah Cutter, Leslie Claire Walker, Eric Kent Edstrom, Ron Collins, Rei Rosenquist, Karen L.
