Stories from a Bookish Dragon

After years of work, edits, and getting enough stories together I am incredibly excited to say that Tales of Scales is OUT NOW. A full book of stories that all have to do with a dragon in some fashion or another. It has my novella, The Unionization of Kobolds, which has characters that have me clamoring to write more about them. This very rarely happens for me and I'm excited to see what I can write for them in the future. I really hope that you all enjoy the collection and here's to the next book taking a little less time to write. 

Had the chance to do a reading of my Epiphany themed holiday story for this year's holiday Fireside meeting over on the Voice of Dog Podcast. The link will take you to the first part, which has my story, but I encourage you to check out the 2nd part as well. I got to sing a song at the end of the 2nd episode with the other narrators that was one of my favorite things I did in 2023.

 A sports themed story set in an anthology full of mini-anthologies that all center around common settings for furry stories to take place in. Lindsey, the rhino goalie for her local soccer team is excited to spend some time with Annie, the anteater mid-fielder before their big playoff game.  

A short story set in the Post-Self sci-fi universe written by Madison Scott-Clary. I love the series of books and getting a chance to play around in this setting was extremely fun. My story focuses on a group of uploaded people who don't experience the process of forking, or splitting off your consciousness into another you, in the same way as everyone else in the System. I feel pretty proud of this one and am hopeful that you will check it out!

An Epiphany based holiday story about an immortal dragon and a depiction of the folklore character La Befana about traveling through a harsh storm to bring joy to the children. Really excited for folks to read this one! It has some of my favorite lines I've written in it. 

A new horror story that just recently got published! This one follows a couple as they move into their new rental home with a close friend. But none of them are prepared for the danger that lurks beneath their paws. 

I took another crack at the Oxfurred Comma Con Flash Fiction Contest last year and I'm happy with how it turned out! This was a scene for a story I hope to flesh out at some point about a group of pirate dragons who sail in search of their ultimate treasure. 

A story written for the Roar Vol. 11 anthology whose theme is innovation. Stars a spider filmmaker who gets the chance of a lifetime to prove herself as a director. Available for purchase now at Furplanet!

A little bit ago, Rob MacWolf proposed a new kind of Voice of Dog episode that would allow writers to submit smaller pieces of fiction and the idea was to wrap these flash fiction stories in an overarching narrative where characters from the stores would be telling those stories to each other over a fire. I immediately loved the concept and submitted my story, "You're My Guiding Star" to him and it got accepted! The finished episode is now out and I'm really excited for you to listen!

Flash fiction of about 1,000 words that follows a songbird as he rushes to escape his cat captors. Available for a free download from the Weasel Press website below!

 A light horror story written for a themed Halloween week on the Voice of Dog! It follows Clive and Sherman, two teenagers who stowaway on a train that is rumored to be haunted. What will they find on their midnight ride?

 This story was written for a really unique anthology premise, that being undersea animals! I was really excited to write about a krill daredevil and his pragmatic hermit crab best friend and can't wait for you to read about their adventure.   

Published as part of a writing contest for the first ever Oxfurred Comma, a convention dedicated to helping out furry writers during the first year of lockdown. The collection features all the flash fiction entered into the contest, including my story about a dragon who just wants some friends he can relate to. You can download it for free over at Smashwords at the link below. 

New story featured on the Voice of Dog! Follows a fox forest spirit made of leaves as she tries to experience all she can before Fall is over. She meets a dog that can walk over water, a tree that is somehow a dragon, and a cat that's lost his family.

I've recently found out about a podcast run by Khaki, who reads out short stories to help lift folks up in their day to day. I submitted a story to him and he did a fantastic job with it! Please give it a listen over at the podcast website or your podcast platform of choice!

My second ever published short story in an anthology! The book is no longer available from the publisher, but please check out their other books: 

My first short story to be published in an anthology ever! I'm so excited to be a part of this project and the story means a lot to me. There's a new wiki detailing events of the anthology to get ready for the 2nd year here: https://rpwiki.co/

This convention's theme was summer camp and as such I felt like it could use a classic spin on the often passed around "snipe hunt" tradition. You can read the full story in the conbook!

This conbook's theme was movie monsters and I decided to write a story about a sleeping lizard deep within a mountain. You can read the full story in the conbook!
