New short story “Glass Eye Pines” on Amazon Best Seller list

Hey everyone, my new short story “Glass Eye Pines” has made the Amazon 30-Minute-Reads Best Seller list (currently #15). You can grab a copy at this link.

With global warming devastating earth, a corrupt empire called “Gen Corp” erects a nation-wide water collection trough across the tops of the decaying U.S. infrastructure. A young man escapes his custodial job on the trough’s surface in order to find the last spot of wild in the lower 48, and away from Gen Corp’s grip.

Award eligible work for 2017-2018

Hey everyone,

Politically, 2017 stunk. But it’s been good for my writing. My novel “Black Friday” is on the Stoker Award Reading List, and the Nebula Reading List for work published in 2017. Because of that, I’m offering free copies for any HWA (Horror Writers Association) or SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) member.

In addition, My short story collection “The Gloaming” is on the Stoker list, along with my experimental short horror story “Tree Line”(contained in the “The Gloaming”). I’m making these available for free to any interested HWA members.

“Black Friday” is diverse fiction featuring a black protagonist and strong female characters. The novel is a thriller at heart, but tackles race relations, consumerism, capitalism, and technology. It’s definitely raw and unfiltered work.

Best,

-Michael

The Invasive 2: Remnants is out

Hey everyone,

Things are crazy out here in western Montana. Fires are blowing up all over the place. There is good news, however. “The Invasive 2: Remnants” is out! The novel once again takes place in Montana, and features the same cast of characters from the popular “The Invasive”. I had a lot of fun writing the sequel, and I’m glad it’s finally out.

You can grab a copy of the novel here.

Best,

– Michael
