Look for future links to new short fiction on this page, some of it published directly on this website. I write a lot of short stories, and I try to publish some of them in various places online or in the real world. I share most of my latest work with readers in my newsletter.
Strange technology inspired by my fiction
Alongside my fiction and other writing I also write code, and beyond the demands of my day job, I like to experiment with strange ideas inspired by ideas in my stories and make them come alive in the web browser or other digital spaces. One recent example would be this prototype model from one of my stories of a machine used to talk to whales. I call it the BEALE (bathymetric echo audio listening encoder) and you can test it by clicking the link below. Come with your own whale songs in MP3 or WAV format, or try the existing catalog on the page.
Some craft related items
I collect ideas about writing craft and process in my newsletter, but have distilled some of those thoughts into blog posts that can read here.
I also like to make things to help myself and other writers better organize their ideas when drafting or revising their stories. One example: I created a short template for developing characters through their actions, one that compiles the ideas of famed SFF author, Samuel R. Delany, and his ideas/discussion in his book About Writing (2005 Wesleyan University Press). The template focuses on how to make characters in your stories more real by focusing on how they act. You can download the template below.
I try to keep this page up to date, so look for more stuff like this, and more links to my writing, here in the future.
