2019 Wrap Up Post

It's that time of year again, as writers across the world dust off their blogs to share their publications from the past year. And I am pleased to say that I am no different!
​

Books Published

This year I hit a professional milestone--I published my first tie-in novel! I've always enjoyed reading tie-in novels and was thrilled when I got the invitation to write a YA story set in the Halo universe. In 2019 both it and its sequel were published.

I also had another unique publishing experience this year, as I was the first publication from Interstellar Flight Press, a small press founded by my friend and critique partner Holly Lyn Walrath! I've also been doing slush reading with IFP, which has been a fantastic experience.
​

Short Works Published

I didn't publish as many poems as I did last year, largely because I got extremely lazy about submissions, but a few did come out in 2019:

"What Waited Beneath the Mountain" in Kaleidotrope
"Amphitrite" in Star*Line

I also go another first though IFP, this time through their online magazine. I published a work of nonfiction--a movie review, to be exact, fulfilling one of my lifelong dreams!

"It Chapter Two is All About What Shapes Us As Adults" in Interstellar Flight Magazine
​

Coming in 2020

I have two books scheduled for a 2020 publication:

​Sacred Summer, a horror novella-in-verse coming from Aqueduct Press in the spring
Forget This Ever Happened, a YA science fiction novel coming from Holiday House in the fall
