I like to keep things simple, so instead of making a fantasy map full of stupid things, I just used a real Hellenistic period map of Phrygia. The story of Midas in Greek mythology takes place in Phrygia, which is a real Greek area in the modern day Turkey. The Read more…
I made a handy box set of all my Christmas stories. Turns out, there are plenty of those. A collection of original Christmas short stories and three retellings.

Happy Halloween! Or whatever, I don’t really know what people say to these things. We don’t have that over here. Anyway, I finished the second story, Chicago. It’s out on Amazon on the 29nth. If you can’t wait, you can grab it on my Patreon. The Halloween Raid series page Read more…
Tushy felt dead. Which was a good thing, in her case. She was practically glowing. Literally, with a greenish light, and her scythe looked way cooler now.
