Short Stories Galore!
I've written many, many short stories over the years. Some have been published in anthologies, and some are on my to-do list of anthologies I hope to publish. A few are very short stories intended for children, and I may attempt to publish a children's book or three.
Growing Pains
features Agribusiness
Displacement
features Jessie Panning for Gold
Growing Pains is an anthology published by Horrified Press. My short story Agribusiness is included, along with a lot of other excellent short stories about young adults who are dealing with odd and sometimes horrible situations. In my story, the genetically engineered protagonist plans a far-reaching revenge on those who engendered him.
Displacement is another young adult anthology published by Horrified Press. My short story Jessie Panning for Gold is included in this one. The anthology includes stories about young adults who find themslves in places they did not expect to be. Jessie bounces from her normal high school life to the San Francisco gold rush.
Ferry Findings is an anthology which is on pre-order from Kitsap Publishing . I have a selection of stories set in the Pacific Northwest which will be illustrated by my husband, Glenn Wachtman's, photographs. One of those stories is called It's Magic.
The title story, Ferry Findings, is currently featured at Literary Mama. Another story, Crabby Converse, can be found on Fabula Argentea.
It's All Lies!
It's All Lies? I'm putting together an anthology of my science fiction short stories. I am not sure what it's going to look like yet...
One story I will include is High Stakes Gaming, currently featured in Brain, Child magazine.
