Here are some of the other places where my short stories and essays have appeared. No llamas were injured in the production of these publications.
Lovecraft eZine #35
I was honored to have one of my Cthulhu Mythos stories published in this online magazine which has quickly become THE best Mythos fiction publisher! The story is "The Silent Symphony" and you should be reading this magazine whether I'm in it or not! (But if you liked my story, please let them know as I'd like them to publish me again someday!)
