Blog postThe things about being on the spectrum is that I always have a special interest that consumes my thoughts and it’s the only thing I want to talk about. Over the years I’ve rotated between a couple—some times it’s work related, some times it’s just a hobby. Transitioning between special interests is hard for me. I find it overwhelming—in a completely illogical-but-please-believe-me-it’s-real sort of way.
When I began working on my house right before Christmas, the transition was -
Blog postBecky White, Voice Artist I’m excited to announce that my short story “The Priest and the Robot” is a part of the Outcasts audio book! You can purchase it on Amazon or Author’s Direct
This was a joint endeavor between the Ohio Writers’ Association and the Ohio Audiobook Narrators. I was honored to have Becky White narrate my piece—she has quite the collection of publications, and handled the story like a pro.

Blog postThe summer after my college graduation, I had the opportunity to live on the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Montana. In honor of Indigenous People’s day, I wanted to share a few reflections from my experience.
#1 – I’m not an expert First and foremost, I lived on the reservation for a summer. It would be inappropriate to assume that I can relate or represent the great Cheyenne people. I know that, in typical white-male fashion, I have brought up this experience whenever the co -

Blog postI’m excited to announce that I have a flash fiction published on 365 Tomorrows! It will be up on the front page today (10/3/21) and then available in the archive after that.
As a pastor, I’ve done my fair share of funerals. I’ve grown frustrated with the amount of money tied to a burial. I often say over a gravesite, the traditional words from the Bible, “from dust you came, to dust you shall return.” Yet, thousands of dollars are spent to prevent this very thing, from vaults to caske -
Blog postTwo months ago, Allyssa and I sat down and watched Hannah Gadsby’s new special on Netflix, Douglas. Much like her Nannette special, she mixed vulnerability and comedic observation so few others can. In Douglas, instead of talking about her sexuality, she delved into her experience living on the autism spectrum.
Photo from freepik.com I remember thinking, this sounds a lot like me.
That night I googled adult autism and aspergers (which is a term I don’t like, mostly -
Blog postOne of my goals is to get published in Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine.
I submitted a story last year, and they rejected it. They said:
“We appreciate your taking the time to send it in for our consideration. Although it does not suit the needs of the magazine at this time, we wish you luck with placing it elsewhere.”
I took that story, submitted it elsewhere, and it will be published later this year.
A couple months ago, I submitted another story to As -

Blog postWe are refinancing, which means we are getting an appraisal, which means we did some cleaning and patching. We bought this house four years ago and put two years of sweat-equity into it. Then, we refinanced, and hired Joshua Calderone to do major work, which got completed (minus finishing) right before COVID hit. Then we spent the last year and a half surviving a pandemic. Now, with low interest rates, we are refinancing and hope to get some more work done! Which means we have photos to given

Blog post**Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t read In The Name of Ammalee, you can read here**
When writing In the Name of Ammalee, I knew I had to deal with different languages—sort of. It follows characters that speak the “same” language, but separated by thousands of years—which means they don’t really speak the same language at all. One of the key components is the changing of names over time. For example, “Jesus” could just as easily be translated from the original language as “Joshua,” and fo -
Blog postI’m excited to announce that my story “In the Name of Ammalee” has been published on The Worlds Within. In fact, I will publishing a number of short stories on this site as the new Science Fiction Editor for The Worlds Within!
Here’s the synopsis:
On the verge of giving up on his faith in Ammalee, a young man and his little sister travel back in time 5000 years to escape a dying earth, but when they meet someone they believe to be the original Ammalee, he starts to question ev
