Short Fiction
Short fiction is a dying artform generally, but alive and well in the SF genre. That's why most of my short work is SFnal, though I do occasionally write other things, such as a comedic piece published this month in Trunk Stories.
It's hard to generalize, but my short stories tend to fall into one of four categories:
Please don't scrutinize these categories too closely, as they probably won't hold up. I figure it will be easier to find something you like this way than in scrolling down a long chronological list. If you'd like to put something in the tip jar, I won't complain. If you stuff it with used tissues, I will.
