The Chaos Clock was created as a Kickstarter stretch goal by eSpec Books. The anthology brings together an amazing selection of modern horror writers to create a selection of tales of eldritch horror set in steampunk universes.
My story, "Sky Rivers of Gray," depicts the aftermath of a 19th century archeologist's obsession with an Egyptian sarcophagus that contained a horrific secret.
The Chaos Clock is available to purchase at Good Reads.

The Nexus of Writing and Cooking
I've been a home cook (not a professional chef by any stretch of the imagination) for 20 years. I became the principal cook for our family of five when I first took up the mantle of "freelance writer" back in 2001 after layoffs cost me my dream job at Wizards of the Coast and my wonderful wife landed her dream job at Fisher-Price. We packed up our house and moved cross country — for a second time (a story for later) — and I became a stay-at-home dad.
