The Short Stories & Anthologies

The Fate of Transport 80-40 - I was invited to contribute a short story to the Christian science fiction anthology Into The Unknown: Seven Short Stories of Faith and Bravery. It was published by Ambassador International in 2021 and is available in paperback, hard cover, and ebook. "The Fate of Transport 80-14" focused on a rare scenario: with most of the command staff either injured or dead upon encountering an asteroid field with deadly radiation, the only person capable of commanding the crippled ship is also the last one anyone would suspect. This story was part of a shared universe.

Below is my short story trailer and the official anthology trailer:

Sea Change - This was my first and only Christian fiction Space Western short story. It was part of Joanna White's independently published Lights In A Dark Sky: A Republic Chronicles Anthology. It was released in 2022 and is permanently free as an ebook. Also occurring in a shared universe, "Sea Change" showed the life of a woman who in her youth was a criminal among criminals who gets a chance to start over, but with a lot of twists. Ending up on a remote world where the only law is maintained by an humanoid bloodhound and his animaloid deputies, she and her daughter are targeted by bounty hunters.

Rescue: A Christmas Story - In early 2023, I was asked to head an Ambassador International anthology project I'd suggested called Christmas Miracles: Six Short Stories of God's Faithfulness In Any Time, Space, Or Realm. It was published in 2023 and is available in paperback and ebook. I worked with five other Christian fiction authors with one goal — write a story that is Christmas (Jesus)-based and has at least one miracle occurring around Christmastime. I was really pleased with how it turned out. "Rescue: A Christmas Story" is about two very different young people who are down on their luck and find themselves depending on each other (and ultimately, a miracle) for their survival in a small Texas town on a snowy Christmas Eve.

1:30 P.M. - In the latter half of 2024, I made the decision to make a pro-life anthology which the Lord had placed on my heart. That anthology ended up being called Choosing Life: A Pro-Life Anthology and I independently published it in April 2026. It is currently available in paperback, hard cover, and ebook. All proceeds will be donated to pro-life non-profit organizations to help mothers and families during and after pregnancy.

I reached out to several Christian fiction authors I'd worked with in the past, all friends who support the pro-life position. I set the story guidelines as a woman has an unplanned pregnancy and at some point considers abortion but ultimately decides to keep her baby. And the other four authors did not disappoint! I already had inspiration for my story about a young woman who feels trapped by her circumstances and see abortion as a way out. But my stories always have twists.
