I changed the title of my upcoming short story collection from Sundown Rising and Other Stories to Odds and Endings: Fiction Short and Otherwise. Why the change? Partly because I’m not done with Sundown Rising and have been “not done” with it for about a year. It will appear later, as either a novella by itself or as part of another collection.

So why Odds and Endings: Fiction Short and Otherwise? I enjoy wordplay. Odds and Ends. Odds and Endings. Get it? Plus, I think (hope?) that it reflects the original, quirky, and sometimes dark stories that you will find therein.

I’m hoping to get Odds and Endings out before the end of the year. In the meantime, please read Mommy’s Favorite for free on Wattpad to get a preview!

From Joe's writing

‘Katy,’ he said, looking into her eyes, ‘I’ve loved you for as long as I can remember. I crushed on you as a kid, dreamed about you as a teenager, and I’m madly in love with you as an adult. We’ve survived demons, serial killers, time travel, and being apart for five years. We made a beautiful little girl together. You are my life, and now I want to make it official. Katy Ruskin, will you marry me?’
