Excerpt
From "Eternal Spring":
For the third morning, Wu Mei came out of her hut to find the tri-colored cat sleeping on her doorstep, and for the third morning, Wu Mei chose responsibility over kindness and walked past. She had been in this small town in Hunan province for nearly six months, and she was beginning to feel a tingle at the back of her neck, a familiar itch that told her the Manchu were close. It was nearly time to move on, and since the cat wasn't especially thin, Wu Mei judged it best she not forget how to fend for herself.

Writing Description
My writing is all over the place. I've written high fantasy, horror, ghost stories, cyberpunk, and science fiction. I like to use magic and science to write about people and the connections between them (or lack thereof).
Goals
This summer I'll be revising and sending out one short story per week.
My goal is to raise at least $100 for Clarion West. I'll be putting an announcement on my blog and on Facebook as an open letter asking for donations. I will also send an e-mail blast to my mailing list.
