- “Nomenclator of the Revolution” in Boston Review–a finalist for the 2022 Aura Estrada Prize!
- “Before Concord” in Center Field of Gravity–winner of the 2022 Gravity Award!
- “Better than Google,” at ECLECTICA Magazine. It took me years to find a home for this story, but it’s one of my favorites.
- “Birds of the Air,” on Drabblecast. It’s a trip to hear someone else record your work!
- “Lamp of the Body” at Bewildering Stories.
- “The Fairy Ring” on Podcastle.
- “The Mount Meager Expedition” on Danse Macabre
- “Count Eszterhazy’s Harmonium” on Kaleidotrope.
Some of my favorite stories aren’t on this short list: they appeared in print publications (for example Analog) or in web magazines that have gone defunct. Many of these can be found using a library database like ProQuest.

Just read The Daughters Of John Demetrius and like all the really good short stories I want more of this story. Good work!

Thank you so much, Jule! The story that Analog just picked up for publication, “Proteus,” is a John Demetrius story set a generation or two before “The Daughters of John Demetrius.” I’ll post when it comes out!

I loved hearing The Fairy Ring on Podcastle; I was wondering, is the text of it available anywhere/in print? I was hoping to read it in a reading group but as far as I can tell it only exists as the podcast narration.

Hi, there–thanks for the good word, and please forgive my lateness in replying! Seeing your message made me realize that I could do a better job keeping up with my blog.
While I don’t think that Podcastle printed the text of “The Fairy Ring,” I’d be happy to send you a manuscript of the story. Would you like me to email it to you?
Your Friend–
Joe
