The Holiday Issue is Up

The Holiday Issue of The Written Word is up and my story "Owen at the Doctor's Office" is as well. This is a strange little story I wrote while high on psychedelic mushrooms. Not really, I just got this weird visual. Well, you'll see when you read the story. Enjoy.

The Best Christmas Ever

"The Best Christmas Ever" coming in December

I just got the good news that a holiday story I wrote called "The Best Christmas Ever" will appear in the Pens on Fire webzine in December. Links to come when the issue is online. 

Good News and Bad News

Two updates, one of them positive, the other not so. First the good: "Owen at the Doctor's Office" will be in the Holiday Issue of Written Word magazine. Links to come when the issue hits the Net. Now the bad: Chippewa Publishing, the e-book publishers who were distributing "My Date with Veronica Lake" has closed. Rights to the story have reverted to me, so I will be looking to place it in another venue (maybe print). Stay tuned...

"Socks" Now Online

The October issue of Byzarium is online now and it has "Socks". The home page has a very nice comment by editor Leigh Dragoon about the story as well. Thanks, Leigh. 

A Word on Socks

"Socks" was rejected 15 times before being accepted by Byzarium.  I'm sure that says something about persistence, I just don't know what.  

"Owen..." in The Written Word

I recently received an email from The Written Word magazine that my story "Owen at the Doctor's Office" will appear in the October/November issue. Links to come in 10 days. 

Coming in October: "Socks" in Byzarium

I just got word that a short story of mine entitled "Socks" will be appearing in the October online edition of Byzarium webzine. Links to come when the story is published. 

A Couple of Reviews for "Veronica Lake"

Do two positive reviews count as being critically acclaimed? Probably not, but the reviews were very kind. The first is from Coffee Time Romance reviewed by Cherokee. The next is from FMAM (Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine) reviewed by Christine Speakmen . My favorite line from this review: "You won't regret taking the time to enjoy this short visit to one magical night."  

Going Home

Here's the link to "Going Home". The second of my two "June Stories". It's my first sci-fi story and one of a very few in first person. I hope you enjoy.
