About this author

Author of the novels LOST EXIT and HARD ROAD (Fight Card series).

My short stories and flash fiction have appeared in numerous magazines and indie zines, including The Literary Review, Word Riot, Six Sentences, Dogzplot, The Foundling Review, Powder Burn Flash, A Twist of Noir, and Tuesday Shorts among many others. Nominated for Pushcart Prizes in 2011 for my short story "No Tears For Crying", and "Who's Got The Action". Other short stories have been included in anthologies for Six Sentences (volumes II and III). I also post my fiction at A COLD RUSH OF AIR (http://kmwriter.blogspot.com), and show up periodically on my blog: SLIDING DOWN THE RAZOR'S EDGE to offer opinions and POV on topics not too earth-shattering in size, scope, or detail.
