Divinity.

My “new” 5k short story “Divinity” is out in Kindle format. This piece was originally published in the great Perihelion Science Fiction magazine (hard science fiction). Logline:

A young college student signs up for a research class on planet Divinity, and helps discover a new animal species. But as the class spends more time on the new planet, they find out how little they actually know.

If you like wildlife biology and animals in your science fiction, DIVINITY might be your thing.

Bull Moose in Glacier National Park.

I’m a big moose fan. So much so, I hide in forests for days waiting to take pictures of them. I also put moose in my stories (most notably THE PULLER).

And speaking of THE PULLER, I just wrapped up the screenplay. There are most certainly moose. 😉
