Your former librarian has some new fiction of his own out. My story "Learning to Fly" is featured, along with nine other much better stories in the "Alien Family Values" collection, out today from Raconteur Press.
A strange little girl grows up the adopted child of a magic-user, the only one of his children to show an aptitude for the art. This creates a close bond between them that will be tested when she learns her origins. This is probably the closest that I'll ever get to writing a tear-jerker, complete with aliens, magic, and explosions, of course.
If you're interested, I also have a few other stories from the past couple of years:
- In "Sea of Regrets," which appears in the "Song of the Siren" collection from DragonSoul Press, a half-siren makes a deal for rock stardom that has come back to haunt her.
- In "Domestic Dispute" in the "Crunchy with Chocolate" anthology from Wolfsinger Publications, a dragon couple has a violent disagreement over what it means to be dragon.
More stories on the way very soon.
