Awards Eligibility 2025

2025 has been a good year for my writing. Absolutely the best so far. I was lucky enough to have five original stories published, three shorts and two novelettes.

If you are reading for awards — or just reading to find some fun bits of speculative fiction — it would mean a lot to me if you kept these in your head for consideration.

I’d be particularly glad if you remembered Numismatic Archetypes, which is the story of mine that I think speaks to 2025 best, or for novelettes Four People, which I had so much fun writing.
