I’m happy to announce I have a story reprinted in the latest volume of tdotspec‘s series Strange Concepts: Big Ideas Explored through Speculative Fiction. tdotspec is a Canadian publisher of speculative fiction and were great to work with. Strange Religion: Speculative Fiction of Spirituality, Belief, & Practice is now available on Amazon in print and ebook for your reading pleasure.

My story “The Life that Comes After” was originally published in the now-defunct The Ginger Collect magazine, and I’m glad the story has found another home in this anthology. In some ways the story is very personal, in others not so much, but it means a lot to have it included in this anthology. To get a sense of the vibe of this story, you can check out my inspiration board on Pinterest.
