It may seem like I’ve been idle since releasing False Flag a few years ago. I haven’t, though my writing productivity has fallen off quite a bit. And I did manage to get one work of fiction finished.

David Dubrow gave me an opportunity to submit a story for his latest anthology. I was perfectly willing to write some short science fiction, which is what Appalling Stories 2 featured. But two factors led me to submit outside of that genre. One was, as I understood it, the editors were looking to diversify and include some action-adventure in Appalling Stories 4. Two was, I’d been playing around with an idea inspired by “the Battle of Portland” between Antifa and the Proud Boys, and other political violence taking place around the States within the last few years.

The anthology has stories from other authors too, of course, including fellow Virtual Pulp blogger Paul Hair. I know almost nothing about the other fiction in it as of yet, but I’m pretty stoked about getting my chance to read it in December.
