The leaves are turning, there’s a chill in the air, and it’s awards eligibility season once again. This is my second year posting a publication round-up. I made my first last year and this year, I’ve had the good fortune to publish with more great magazines and work with wonderful editors.
On top of publications, this year had other writing victories. I was able to join Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) with my sale of my novelette. I was also accepted into Tin House Winter Workshop, Tin House Summer Workshop, and was picked to be Town Hall Seattle’s Writer-in-Residence in the spring.
If you’re a member of SFWA, I’d love it if you considered nominating one of my SFF stories in the online ballot. If you’re not a member of SFWA, I’d love it if you read and shared my work.
Below are the stories and essays I’ve put out this year. I have a speculative creative nonfiction piece coming out in Identity Theory in mid-December, and I’ll update the list at that time.
2022 Publications
Novelette:
“Our Memories Are What We Fear Most” – Uncharted Magazine, May 2022. Science fiction.
An #actuallyautistic story of a mother, daughter, and the intergalactic war between the two. (SFWA Forum link)
Short Fiction:
“Experiment Ninety-Four” – Luna Station Quarterly, March 2022. Science fiction.
A scifi-fairytale about a boy living alone in an abandoned space station. This story is actually in the same universe as the novelette above. (SFWA Forum link)
“The Sum of Two People” – HAD, January 2022. Literary flash fiction.
This is love story set in a series of math problems. I’m not a fan of math at all and this piece started as a joke. But I was surprised where the form took me. This became one of my favorite flash pieces.
“Offside, Otherside” – Words & Sports Quarterly, January 2022. Ghost story.
A ghost story about football and bad fathers.
Essay:
“A Winter Vigil” - Identity Theory, December 2022.
“Baseball Marks the Time” - HAD, originally published in Hobart Magazine, April 2022.
Art:
My art was published this year in Hobart, HAD, and The Future Fire.
What’s next?
I’m currently finishing up my fantasy novel—a dragon pastoral about a family coming to terms with trauma and finding healing as a war that’s devastated their family continues with no end in sight—and revising my literary novel, The Ashes, a braided narrative featuring three generations of women in a small town featuring a neurodivergent protagonist. I’m also at work on a series of essays, three new short stories, and a feature screenplay.
I’m looking forward to what stories 2023 brings.
