“Reputation” appears in issue #136 of Star Wars Insider magazine.

Notes: This story offers just the tiniest glimpse into the background of Cad Bane, a bounty hunter introduced in the Clone Wars cartoon series.
“In Deepest Silence” appears in the fifth issue of Shock Totem, a magazine of genre fiction and nonfiction with an emphasis on the macabre.
Credits: Sole author
Cover by Mikio Murakmi.
Notes: I think the best way to describe this particular story is “Horror On a Submarine With a Touch of Lovecraft Seasoning.”
You should follow the link and take a gander; it’s a heck of a Table of Contents.
Availability:
“Hell or High Water” is now available in its entirety on the Paizo web site, as part of their Pathfinder Tales line. It’s set in Golarion, the setting of the Pathfinder RPG, but I think you should pretty easily grok most of it even if you’re not familiar with that world.

“Railroad Spikes” appears in Tales of the Far West, an anthology of short fiction set in a world that… Well, I’ll let them tell it:
Imagine: A fantasy world, but not one based on Medieval/Dark Ages European culture and myth, but rather one based on the tropes of the Spaghetti Western and Chinese Wuxia. Add steampunk elements. Mix well.
A fantasy world that’s The Gunslinger meets Storm Riders meets Deadwood meets Afro Samurai meets The Wild Wild West meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meets Django meets Brisco County meets House of Flying Daggers and more.
A fantasy world that’s explored through a constantly-updated website, a tabletop role-playing game, a web series, artwork, fiction, comics and much, much, more. A fantasy world that is shaped by its own fan community.
This anthology is published by Adamant Entertainment, and edited by Gareth-Michael Skarka.

Cover by Rick Hershey.
Notes: My own story, “Railroad Spikes,” is a borderline horror tale that I can best describe as Saw meets The Great Train Robbery. Yeah.
Also, I’m sharing a table of contents with (among many other worthwhile names) Dave Gross, Matt Forbeck, Chuck Wendig, and Scott freakin’ Lynch! *fanboy quiver*

“The Purloined Ledger” appears in Broken Time Blues, an anthology of urban fantasy and other tales set in the roaring 20s. This anthology is published by Absolute XPress, and edited by the Jaym Gates and Erika Holt.
Credits: Sole author
Cover art by Galen Dara.
Notes: The title of this short story is a deliberate homage to Poe’s “The Purloined Letter.”
The main character of this story is a guy about whom I intend to write a great deal more in the future. Hopefully, you’ll like him at least half as much as I do.

“The Ogre’s Pride” was published in Spectra Pulse, the e-newsletter for Random House’s Spectra imprint.
Credits: Sole author
Notes: This story was written as a tie-in to my novel The Conqueror’s Shadow. However, you needn’t have read one to enjoy the other.
The story is no longer available from the Pulse website–it is, after all, a monthly e-zine, and April is over–but I’ve made the story available here. (The link takes you directly to the PDF.) Although it says “Continued from Spectra Pulse” in the document, don’t worry; what’s in the document is the entirety of the story.
“Before I Wake” was published online as part of WotC’s Digital Initiatve.
Credits: Sole author
Notes: This a Ravenloft tale, but only marginally; if you know nothing of the setting, it won’t hurt your appreciation, and in fact you almost certainly wouldn’t even know there was anything that you didn’t know. (Um, so to speak.) It’s also my attempt at the pastiche of H.P. Lovecraft. (Not that I tried to imitate his writing completely; I don’t think I could. But the writing and, in particular, the dialog is more like his than anything else I’ve written.)
“The Flight of the Righteous Indignation” was included in Tales of the Last War, an anthology of Eberron short stories published by Wizards of the Coast.
Credits: Sole author
Notes: My first published fiction in the Eberron setting, and indeed for WotC as a company.
