Personally, I love the idea of a wizard in the human world. Not even modern day wizards, but just not wizards in the company of knights. I like the idea of a wizard still helping people, but with politics and intrigue. While working this week, I had the idea of a wizard detective as the lead of an old 1920s radio show and ended up writing this over a couple of mornings before work. I recommend reading this month’s piece with a solo trumpet crooning the background, a slow fan rotating overhead, and a feeling of having lost before even starting to play the game.

Oromi’s Quest
I actually thought of this idea while working on another story. The character was also a fantasy writer (write what ya know, right?) and I needed something for him to write about. The idea was intriguing, so I decided to write that instead. Sometimes you gotta follow the muse where they lead you!
The Big Sleep
Winter always makes me sleepy for some reason. Long stretches indoors, warm cups of tea, huddling under layers of blankets…it’s just so cozy and feels ideal for a long nap. But what if sleeping through the winter was an option?
The Star Forger
A short exploration on those who make the stars:
Key and Lock
I won’t lie: This one was a nail biter. My computer was in the shop for a bit, so I didn’t have access to all of my files. I managed to have this one pre-written, so I polished it up a little bit and decided to post it here!
Enjoy!
The Murder at Adler Pond
It’s October and that means it’s time for a good, spooky story! I’ve been a little light on time recently, but here’s a little bit about ghosts, ancient grudges, and–of course–murder!
The Patron
A simple story about an opportunity in the form of a patron. Whenever I’m looking at D&D classes, I’m always curious what a modern-day warlock variation would look like. I might play more with this one cause I’m curious where it could go!
Cereal Box Prize
Do you remember the contests they used to have on the back of cereal boxes? Ever try to finish one?
The Obsidian Badge
A tale of ghosts, vengeance and billionaires! Enjoy this month’s fiction installment!
Unity
I’ve always been a huge fan of space and space travel. Star Trek is a favorite of mine and I’ve always been curious about how a planet would react to a unified world government, especially the moment it was apparent that we were heading towards one. So here’s a short story about going from the final two world powers to accepting the unity of all nations. Where better to start cooperating than in space?
