My submission to the Baen Fantasy Awards didn't make the cut, so I've tossed it up on Amazon.com at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MAYJCVM
"Bad Vibes" is set in the same universe as my forthcoming novel Shadowfall: Vegas (you can see the cover below).
I talk about the story and also provide a brief progress report on my year so far at my blog: https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog_posts/6741004-new-short-story-out-for-kindle
7/25/14
Hard at work on Apocalypse Dance, Book 3 of the New Olympus Saga.
I also took some time off to fiddle with the cover of my next project after Dance. Shadowfall: Las Vegas is an apocalyptic/Lovecraftian novel that will hopefully kick off a new series of books. In 2014 my goal is to alternate between this setting and the New Olympus one, and hopefully to launch a third setting. Variety is the spice of life and all that :)
