I’m posting this on my 30th wedding anniversary, so I hope you can excuse me for being a little sincere. I’m updating the Patreon with the first romance story I’ve written with the intention of ‘this story’s going to be a romance!’ It’s called Gorgeous Synergies and it’s pretty funny. Also kinda long. The inspiration…
My fiction’s all over the place here. So, first up: A Pedophile Wrote Your Favorite Song. Can you guess what the trigger warning for this one is? Yeah, it deals with sexual violence, though it does not contain explicit descriptions. It’s also about telepathy and a meditation on who victimizes and who doesn’t. Also, if…
It is my great honor and delight to have a place with the Aurora Writer’s Workshop this summer, teaching a class on creative writing. The full details are here, but the long and short of it is, you can join me in a small group in which we explore the best individual way you can…
First off, as you might gather from the image, there’s a new story up in the fiction library, and it’s called Letter From a Killer. Guess what it’s about? Yeah, grotty scary crime. Do you suppose a handsome cop shows up to make everything OK? Probably not, but I guess you have to read to…
This month’s free story is up, and it’s called Dialogue With Fury. Word of warning on this one: While I produce a lot of dark stuff here, this one touches on some particularly evil behaviors, right at the final sentence reveal. It’s a mix of rural Gothic Americana and the ancient Greek avengers of those…
If I understand correctly, Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day are to coincide once more in 2029, and then that’s it for the whole of the twenty-first century. Zounds! How am I, a beloved anti-realist, frequent Christian, uneasy cynic and aspiring romantic celebrating this rare conjunction? Well, I’m mainly ignoring it. My wife and I have…
New fiction up! You’d think this one would be SF or horror, but it’s actually more of a gritty crime piece! Like a lot of my fiction these days, it debuted on my Patreon which, with fewer than 50 backers, is feeling a little lonely. It’s only five bucks to get a fresh new story…
About a year ago, I dusted off two very old stories and reworked them for the Patreon. (I did two because it didn’t feel fair to just do one when they were old.) So now, a year later, they roll out here for free. Isn’t that great? If you want to support that Patreon, by…
A year ago, readers on my Patreon got the story of a man exploring an alternate Earth where the touch of man was unknown, because animals never evolved. He mainly goes there to let his dog do its business beyond the reach of pooper-scooper laws, because the gate into that uninhabited world is huge and…
That’s right! The long awaited anthology of nineteen of my short works is now on Kickstarter and you can pledge for it at this very instant! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gregstolze/i-dream-of-insomnia/ Now, if you’re a longtime Stolze fan and follower, a lot of the work on that table of contents is going to look familiar, but this is your…
