Award Eligibility 2025
If you only read one piece of mine this year, make it "Laser Eyes Ain't Everything".
Come for the superhero shenanigans, stay for the accessibility catharsis.
Laser Eyes Ain't Everything
Published in Diabolical Plots, 3,500 words
Long-listed for the BSFA Award
Locus Magazine said called it a "sharp satire" that's "fun and funny but doesn’t lose its bite"
The Super-Abled 501 Local Union building wasn’t ADA compliant.
I sat in my wheelchair next to the three steps that led to their front door, and groaned. My brand new laser eyes didn’t exactly fix my mobility problems.

In the Void Behind My Deaths
Published in Factor Four Magazine, 1,000 words
In my first death I died alone, pierced through the belly with a velociraptor talon. I bled out before I felt much of anything, floating into a black void. It was quiet and and peaceful and still,
and then I pecked my way out of an egg, slimy and cold.
By my third death, stomach empty from a particularly hard winter, I looked around. The blackness was a void, uniformly empty in all directions, darker than the blackest black. The emptiness brought peace, but loneliness.
