“Squatters,”  appears in Aphelion Webzine.

JC is a boy surviving the urban jungle, considering a life of drug pushing as sponsored by his Rastafarian cousin Skip. But his first “deal” goes way bad when his contact turns out to be harboring a gang of unearthly beings who are preying upon the souls of the locals, and JC is next on their list.

My “Lovers Under the Green Sky” is in Planetary Stories, complete with custom illustrations!  Almost like having your very own Ken Kraus adult “graphic novelette.”

Planetary explorer Herschel Rexrode suspects his rocky marriage is about over. But, when his cheating wife Anna is ambushed returns profoundly changed, he faces a new problem. The “old” Anna, a competent botanist who’s sacking with the station commander, is gone forever. The “new” Anna will likely prove deadly to the crew, but - hey!- she’s finally the devoted, loving partner he always wanted.
