Foul Tommy’s Armor – New Short Fiction
Foul Tommy’s Armor – Just published by Millennial Pulp Magazine. My newest short story, brought to you by the fine folks at Millennial Pulp Magazine Volume Two. Foul Tommy’s Armor tells the story of an ex-soldier and street drunk who hides the souls of the dead under his greatcoat. The demons of his past pursue him as he struggles to survive in the world of The Ruins, a community of castaways set apart from The Outside.
The Ruins Stories
The Ruins is a small island of temporary hope in a bleak, dystopian world. It is an internment camp for the misfits and the crazies thrown aside by the leaders of a grim urban hell. And, it is the setting for a three-story series of my short stories. The first story is Crow Chain, published by The Dead Mule School. The second is our current lovely, Foul Tommy’s Armor. The Third story is Angel of the Ruins. This is the final installment in the series, and we wish it well out there in Submission Land.

Orphaned Lies – Collected Stories
The Journey of Orphaned Lies
The fifteen stories contained within these pages tell tales of love lost and love found, of darkness at the end of life, and light at the beginning. Unforgettable characters struggle against the impersonal forces of the outside world, and against the flaws they carry within themselves. There is quiet heroism and unwanted heroes discarded, acts of defiance and of acceptance. The inhabitants of these pages learn who they are, and sometimes, who they are not. Enter here, Reader, and join in the journey that is Orphaned Lies.
