His collections include “Fantastic Texas”published in 2009; “Texas & Other Planets” published in 2010; and “The Clock Struck None”and Letters from Gardner”, both published in 2014. His debut novel, the retro-futurist alternate history Another Girl, Another Planet:, is slated for release later in January by WordFire Press.
