Book titled "No Gentle Death" in front of a background of a desert at night. Arrows point from captions towards the book. The captions read: "running fascists out of town", "elder queer posse", "post-apocalyptic weird west", "world-weary lesbians who are too old for this shit", "shootouts at dawn" and "a crow, for some reason".

I'm always jealous of authors who can make those fun book blurb graphics ... so I decided to make ones for my short stories! Here's one for my most recent short story "No Gentle Death," published in #AfterTheStormMagazine (and free to read!) #Writersky

I've now read the other stories in the same issue as me, and can confirm this is one hell of a publication!! Check out the Spring 2025 issue for four very different stories about speculative futures. #AfterTheStormMagazine #SciFiSky #CliFi #ScienceFictionWriters

The Sludge “Well, first off, we gotta call it by its proper name.”

Highly recommend everyone go read "The Sludge" by Johanna Lee, published in the same issue of #AfterTheStormMagazine as me. It's short, incisive, and absurdly funny. (Plus free to read!)

No Gentle Death “I slunk through the shadows of Wellspring like I hadn’t been the goddamn mayor of this town for twenty years.”

My western sci-fi short story "No Gentle Death" is out today in #AfterTheStormMagazine! And even better, it's free to read.

The mayor of a post-apocalyptic town fights against a fascist uprising, aided by some queer desert outlaws and a crow.
