"I am a graduate student and writer living in Tokyo, Japan. I have been writing fiction for nearly twenty years -- primarily speculative -- and have had over a dozen short stories appear in print over the past two years.

"Most recently I have had work appear in Fiction on the Web, Aphelion, Bewildering Stories, Electric Spec, and The Future Fire. I have had pieces appear in Expanded Horizon as well, and my short story 'They Meet in the Wall' was awarded a Mariner Prize in 2018.

"My first collection of short stories, Tales from the Stone Lotus, is currently available on Amazon. My first novel, The Slixes, was published in September 2019. One of my pieces, 'The Unvanished', will appear in volume 2 of Rosarium Publishing's Sunspot Jungle late this year."
