First Day on the Job

Read here

The debut of Cole and Dog as superheroes, or at least vigilantes with super powers. I tried my hand at designed super hero costumes, but there’s more than one reason I’m writing short stories and not drawing comics. I also put down their alter egos down for the first time…sort of.

I’ve ended up explaining my answers to super hero tropes a lot more than I was expecting when I started writing about this universe. I still like to think of this series as a satire, though. Anyway, this marks the end of Cole and Dog’s introduction, so from now on my stories with them may jump around the timeline a bit. As always, I hope you enjoy it.

Getting Out Those Sulphur Stains, Part One

Read here

This particular short story fought me. I started the idea as a whim, and didn’t really know where to cut if off for the moment. I look at one of the oldest fantasy tropes and play with it a little bit. More than anything, this story has become a look at a character dealing with shock and absurdity. And maybe literal medical shock.

Another reason for the delay is that getting my larger story published in Clarkesworld didn’t work out. I’m going to keep looking, but I won’t let it get in the way of resuming more normal updates. Expect a continuation of this story in a few updates.
