Two New Short Stories!
A scientist with a US military preventive medicine unit in South Korea dies in a minefield while collecting mosquitoes in the DMZ. His supervisor, the unit’s newly appointed executive officer, takes over the position, only to find out that this was not the first such death. He will have to fight against his unit’s dark history if he is to not repeat it.

Maurcie and John had a good marriage, or so it seemed, until one full moon when he became a wolf man. Their bonds of matrimony are put to the test by his newfound appeitite for eating neighborhood cats and rolling in fresh poop.
“The Wolf Man’s Wife” is coming this May in Strange Stories. Link Coming soon!
New Poem and Story
John Milton’s Paradise Lost is a classic of the English language, but women really fare poorly in it! Eve is manipulated by Satan, is dominated by Adam, and takes all the blame for the downfall of (ahem) man and the expulsion from Paradise. To make matters worse, Milton gives Satan a kid, aptly named Sin, who just happens to be a girl.
My addition takes a minor character in Paradise Lost, Night, and empowers her as a goddess, redefining the original and reclaiming the feminine in Christianity.
“The Descent of Ancient Night Upon Heav’n: An Addition to John Milton’s Paradise Lost, Book Three” is coming very soon in The Mythic Circle. I just got my copy, so it should be out anytime now. I’ll post a link when I have it!
New Article!
A magical journal is an unexpected ritual partner for the practitioner of the esoteric arts. Many of us keep grimoires or Books of Shadow – but the magical journal is not the same. Within the magical journal, the practitioner finds a sacred space of transmutation. Learn how to use your journal for self-discovery in my article in NILVX, forthcoming this September.
