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

He had been alive for centuries, but never had he felt so old – so tired – as he did today. And it was all because of Wainwright. Wainwright had been one of his disciples, and he’d made the mistake of trusting the man, of letting his guard down, of teaching him more than he’d ever had the right to learn. He gave the man the world, and Wainwright threw it back in his face.
