My science fiction short story “I Don’t Want To Be Human” has been accepted by Cloaked Press for their 2024 edition of Spring Into SciFi. I have stories published in a number of “Cloaked” anthologies over the past several years and am excited to be part of their latest project.
“I Don’t Want To Be Human” is both an atypical exploration into the “intent” of Artificial Intelligence, and turning the common trope of robots and androids wanting to be more human on its head.
Here’s a small sample of the story:

It’s finally happening. The Cloaked Press anthology Summer of Speculation 2023 is available June 26, 2023. This year’s theme is Sidekicks.
My contribution to this work is the short story “The Apprentice.”
I didn’t want to do some superhero sidekick story so I went with a “diamond-in-the-rough” apprentice to a Master, but one with particular skills. It’s set in the same futuristic cyberpunk world as my short story “Dollface” which you can find in the anthology Surge.
Pin is a girl who has grown up in the slums of the Under, the ancient remnants of cities built centuries ago which are now dwarfed in the shadow of the sky-spanning megapolis. Recruited by the mysterious “Mr. Chandler,” Pin must leave behind everyone she has ever loved for an uncertain future training as a Paladin. But is Chandler the Practitioner her savior or the catalyst of a life leading to danger and ultimately death?

I just found out that my cyberpunk short story “The Apprentice” has been accepted into the 2023 edition of the Cloaked Press anthology Summer of Speculation. The theme for this year’s anthology is “Sidekicks”. I already had my cyberpunk universe built for another story and decided to create the teacher Chandler and his reluctant apprentice Pin.
In a world run a conglomerate of criminal syndicates, corporations, and the government, protection and justice are only for the wealthy and the connected. Out of that system rose a group of vigilantes dedicated to protecting the most helpless inhabitants of the vast megalopolis.
I have the publisher’s permission to make this announcement, but there’s no cover art, pre-sales link, or anything else ready yet. But to whet your appetite, I’m offering a snippet of my overall story:

As I write this, the Cloaked Press anthology Spring into SciFi 2022 edition ranks #27 in Amazon’s Science Fiction Anthologies (Kindle Store) and #94 in Science Fiction Anthologies (Books). That’s pretty impressive.
The accompanying graphic (see below) I received from the publisher gives a slightly different figure, but they tend to float. It also says that this humble, indie SciFi anthology is in very good company.
My short story “Tiamet Descending” is among the tales nestled between the covers.
My blurb for the story goes like this:
What is the mystery of the Tiamat and what happened to her passengers and crew? Marine Captain Elisha Rush and five mission experts aboard the military spacecraft Belisama have been sent to rendezvous with Tiamat just inside the orbit of Mars. What they find on board will lead to either a miracle for humanity or our extinction.
