My new collection, Unforgotten and Other Stories, is available now from Smashwords and Amazon. (Smashwords pays its authors better royalties than Amazon.)

It contains forty stories and 335,000 words of fiction: twenty-six short stories, seven novelettes, two novellas, three short novels, and two reviews of imaginary books and TV shows. Thirteen of the stories (over 180,000 words) have never appeared online before, and three others appear here in a significantly expanded form. Each story has a new afterword or introduction; many of the afterwords have recommendation and links for similar stories by other authors.

"Listening to Jekyllase" shows a world where Dr. Jekyll's formula has been rediscovered and has become a popular drug on college campuses in 1970. In "False Positives," benevolent aliens try to help all the transgender people on Earth attain their ideal bodies... but their algorithm for detecting transgender people is imperfect. In "Passenger," a paramedic finds herself haunted by memories of the life of a boy she tried to save.
