In the late part of the year, I haven’t been blogging as much due to distractions relating to preparing a house to sell, then actually selling it, buying another, and preparing to move a mountain of stuff (and what remains after months of purging, cleaning and culling is still a mountain). In just a few days we’ll be moved into our new place in North Portland, after more than a decade spent in outer SE, and it will be a very good thing.
Here is a summary of my 2016 publications:
BOOKS
My debut collection The Lure of Devouring Light was published by Word Horde.
My novella An Ideal Retreat was published by Dim Shores.
My debut novel Hieroglyphs of Blood and Bone was accepted for publication by JournalStone, coming in February 2017.
