| If you read science fiction magazines, you may have noticed that you never see my byline in them. That's because I write novels, not short stories. Except... Once in a great while an editor will ask me for a story for an anthology. Four have been published, and another is about to be released, and another is under consideration. |

Cowboy Stories This anthology of original stories, edited by noted horror writer Darrell Schweitzer, is a parody of 1930s pulp magazine fiction. It contains "Going After Yeechiphooie," my first published short story. Also, stories by Gregory Frost, P. D. Cacek, Mike Resnick, Darrell Schweitzer, Ron Goulart, John Gregory Betancourt, and others.

An anthology of original stories, edited by Mike McPhail, about the beginnings of wars. My entry is "Surrender or Die," which I originally wrote as the prolog to the fourth DemonTech book. While the story isn't about the beginning of the war covered in the first three books, it is the beginning of a new phase of the war. Also includes stories by Jack Campbell, John C. Wright, Bud Sparhawk, C.J. Henderson, Tony Ruggiero, Danielle Ackley-McPhail, and others. |

This anthology of original short stories, edited by Danielle Ackley-McPhail, is about really tough fae characters. Don't think Tinkerbell, please. From the cover copy: ". . .[I]n David Sherman's The Price of Friendship, a simple Nix gives Viking warriors a lesson in unconventional warfare." You just know that anything written by me has some serious fighting in it.

An anthology of, yes, steampunk stories. Contains stories by Brenda Cooper, C.J. Henderson, Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Elektra Hammond, Patrick Thomas, and *ahem* me. My story, "Greater Crater Gremlins," is steampunk in the old west. Except for the gremlins, all the names are out of 19th Century American literature, 1950s-1960s TV Westerns, and more recent TV SF. Can you name all their sources? |
The title says it all. This anthology of armored warfare stories includes a Starfist short story, "Contained Vacuum." The story takes place during the return to Thorsfinni's World following the operation on Ishtar (seen in Dougle Jeopardy.) No tanks in this story. Third Platoon's second squad, in armored vacuum suits, is sent to investigate a seeming derelict starship. The starship is far from abandoned—Skinks are laying in wait! |
