New story up at DIN, “Secret Maps” (they’re the best kind). More stories soon, too, in excellentcool places. June will be all linky.

“The Ones Who Got Away” made it on/to EWN’s Short Story Month.

New story, “Dedication,” up at Smokelong. It’s the first story for Short Story Month, too. So cool.

“Why I Write” is live at Stymie.

I lucked onto Adam Cesares’ Daily Grindhouse list.

Couple more places got ahold of Zombie Bake-Off in the most wonderful way: Booked Podcast and Chizine‘s Chioroscuro.

And, another interview’s live on Monday. Or, in a mag —…
