cyberpunkdreams: cincinnati stories

I had the pleasure of being asked to dev edit two stories for the Cyberpunkdreams: Cincinnati Stories anthology by author and game creator Rob Chant. The stories 'Arcade' and 'Gangland' cemented Chant for me as one of the great cyberpunk writers of our time. Willing to look unflinchingly at a future society where crime, violence, and even depravity become means to survival.

Elemental Empire

Over the last year I've worked with Peter North on proofreading his published series of erotic fantasy novels, Elemental Empire. Funny, pulpy, full of adventure and tasteful sexual encounters. Peter North put together a fine series I'm proud to have been allowed to work on this for him.
