Plugs For My Stuff

I write comics. My latest is Zephyr & Reginald: Minions for Hire #2, illustrated by my wife, Gynn Stella. Minions for Hire is also a weekly webcomic. The latest installment is here.

I also write an ongoing fiction serial at The Edge of Propinquity, which appears each month along with four other stories by very talented writers.

I have three stories appearing in the Finis collection, which is now available for purchase.

My personal zine is Caravan, which appears in the Phoenix APA. I'm starting work on a new issue of Caravan in the next few days.

You can also check out my Comicspace page, my Deviantart page, and my Livejournal. I have four groups here on Gather: Geek Travel, Magic the Gathering Players, Wildlife Identifications, and Panel Discussion (Comic Book Reviews).
