Short Stories

Two of my short stories have appeared in anthologies. Even though I wrote them many years ago, they both ended up being about pandemics…

“Attack of the Were-Zombie Friendship with Benefits,” Were-, 2016
Ill-advised friends with benefits are a time-honored way to cope with DC’s infamously bad dating scene. When a virus spreads that turns people into fae, vampires, or zombies with a single bite, will our heroine make good decisions? Probably not.

“Perchance to Dream,” Athena’s Daughters vol. 2, 2015
Everyone is dying. Maya is one of the small number of people who are immune, and she’s losing everyone she loves. Then, an old friend points her toward an extraordinary way out.
