It's All Hours
Varvale was the name of the forest. Autumn was a dawn rolling over the canopy from the inside and working its way out. A pond lay beneath it. It wore the sky like a mask. Mostly blue, the pale of peace. The underbrush was bearded with leaves, branches, shrubs, dirt, lichen, and moss. The dead stuck out like bits of food in that beard. They’d been camped next to the pond.

Ranking the System
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Naturally, that depends on the shape of the scream. Does it belong to one of the Storots? They don’t scream with mouths, so you don’t hear them with ears. They’re a different kind of being, searching the vast unknown.

MANA
Skyrow was a snow dragon. He kept a journal using an old apprentice's grimoire, enchanted to survive basic wear as through moisture and temperature changes. He had an impressive memory and no real need for such a thing. Especially since he was, by the reckoning of his kind, extremely young.

I Turned Poems into Characters
My first international story and translated publication credit was a science fiction short called “Where With All.” I submitted it to the Transnational Arts Production, an arts & culture group out of Norway, for their All Borders Are Temporary collection. They wanted a story per continent (mine won for North America), and translated any entries not already in Norwegian to their language for nation-wide release. I’ve since released it in the original English in my short fiction anthology, Interstitches: Worlds Sewn Together, with Engen Books.
