(“Awards eligibility list” is the scientific word for a list of things I had published this year. Fiction and non-fiction. Stories, reviews, and essays. I am also trying out my new Buttondown newsletter and so far it’s a lot easier to deal with design-wise than Mailchimp.)

2025 was a busy year for me, but I only had a couple of new stories out:

New stories:

• “Vancouver” – in the anthology Spring in the City. Get your copy from Ruadán Books / Apple Books or Amazon.

• “Highway 1, Past Hope” – in The Deadlands. Read the story / buy the issue.

I did write a lot of fiction reviews and essays this year and these are eligible for fan writer and similar award categories.
