Fiction

These are links to all of the short fiction I’ve published in various magazines and websites over the years.

“Broken Faces”

Another Alex Damage short. This time he’s been hired as a “reverse bodyguard,” so to speak. It’s a lean 700 words. Perfect length for a squat n surf. Check it out over at Shotgun Honey.

“Brother”

Punk Noir Magazine’s September theme was “the mixtape.” A collection of stories inspired by songs. Mine was inspired by Murder by Death’s “Brother.” It’s the second story.

 

Hyphen-Punk #5

Fall 2022

“Rust Never Sleeps”

In this cyber-punk sci-fi story, a moderately successful rock musician prepares to perform the first concert broadcast entirely in augmented reality.

“Moral Threat”

Another Alex Damage short. Alex stakes out Al’s Bar, a popular punk bar in downtown LA as the nature of the gig is slowly revealed.

It’s free to read as part of Mystery Tribune’s Daily Fiction.

 

Mystery Magazine
March 2022

“The Final Nail”

Introducing Alex Damage, an unlicensed private eye and fixer for the denizens of LA's infamous early 80s punk scene. When a friend's sister goes missing several days after being violently attacked, Alex and his righthand man Rad comb the LA underground for her.

You actually gotta pay for this one. But it’s worth it.

“Family Night”

A disturbing piece of horror-flash fiction I'd shopped around for awhile before finding the right audience with The Molotov Cocktail, who included it in Vol. 8 Issue 10 for October 2017.
