Brave New Worlds Has Been Released

My latest story, "Spinoza's Garden," has been printed in a new anthology, Brave New Worlds, published by Zombies Need Brains, LLC. I am so proud of this story.

It's not always easy. I originally finished this story on October 31, 2015. That night was an accident that left me in a coma for weeks and then recovering in the Burn ICU for months.

This story sat untouched until last year, when I pulled it out to read it again and then began to edit it down. This may be one of my favorite acceptance letters to date.

Want to read the story? It talks about the lengths we go to for survival, and what we think that might look like. You can buy a copy from the publishers at:

The Brave New Worlds Anthology Promotion

I have a science-fiction story in this amazing collection! It is available for pre-order on kindle now, and is due for a summer release!

Here is the copy from the back jacket of the book:

"What happens when a computer glitch sends eighty-nine copies of the same scientist (and no one else) to settle a new planet? Or a privateer gets stranded on a slow ship he tried to hijack that’s still years away from its destination and has no food?

BRAVE NEW WORLDS presents fifteen original stories that follow humanity’s long dream of traveling to the stars, from heart-wrenching departures from Earth, through the unknown dangers of the long flight through the cold vastness of space, to the immigrants’ final arrival on an alien world. Perhaps your father has signed you up for life on a gen ship before you’ve even graduated high school. Or maybe you’ve arrived at a gloriously green new planet…only to have it shoot you out of the sky when you try to land. Or worse yet, your attempts to terraform your new home have all failed. What do you do then?

Join Jamie Boyd, Gini Koch, Mike Jack Stoumbos, Stephen Leigh, A.M. Giddings, Auston Habershaw, Sarah Lyn Eaton, Ian Tregillis, Jack Nicholls, Willa Blythe, Chaz Brenchley, Ari Officer, Eric Choi, Jacey Bedford, and Juliet Kemp in the latest anthology from Zombies Need Brains, BRAVE NEW WORLDS, as they explore the infinite challenges of humanity’s race to the stars!"
