I’m overjoyed that my short story “Mercy Find Me” is a finalist for the 2019 Derringer Award from the Short Mystery Fiction Society. This story came straight from my heart and was published last year in Fiction River: Justice edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. I’m happy that the first-round judges liked the story and look forward to getting it into the hands of more readers. The magazine is available as an ebook from most online vendors and in paperback from Amazon.
Laugh with Odin, the robot vacuum cleaner who narrates my new short story, “Clean and Godly in Denmark”.
You can find my story in Fiction River: Hard Choices available from all major ebook retailers.

My elderly neighbors seem very fond of their tireless helpers, often talking to them like old friends.
To which he replied, “Yeah, what could go wrong there?”
Plenty.

Tangent Online’s reviewer praises Fiction River: Pulse Pounders: Countdown and writes that my story is “incredibly fast-moving. The reader is immediately pulled into the action and the tension doesn’t let up even at the end.”
The reviewer says Pulse Pounders is aptly named and the “selection of tales is fast-paced and explosive. It’s like a rollercoaster ride of thrills and excitement.”

The anthology is now available in paperback from Amazon.
