“Lace Angel” Published in Title Goes Here (Web Edition) 2.8

I told you’d it’d be a busy month for me, and see if it isn’t. :P Tonight, Title Goes Here published Issue 2.8, containing my dark (and a bit strange) short story, “Lace Angel”. This story is one of my favorites from this year’s Story-a-Day May, and the first from that batch of stories to [...]

Haiku Published in Three Line Poetry

I know! Not the normal headline from me, right? Well, about four-six months back, I started dabbling in poetry (those who read regularly will know this). Scribophile, my favorite writing/critiquing sight, has monthly poetry contests that are designed to help you learn more about writing poetry, new forms, etc. A few months back, we had [...]

“Dying Mother” and “Four-by-Four” Published

Today saw two of my sci-fi, flash pieces published at two different markets. Sometime after midnight, Kazka Press published ‘Dying Mother‘ as one of three ’713′ pieces for their monthly submission call. The challenge was to use a first line selected by Kazka Press and write a sci-fi/fantasy story of 713 words exactly. I’m no [...]

Preview of “Four-by-Four”

August promises to be good to me, with 4 pieces set to be published that month. Among those, is “Four-by-Four” a flash piece I originally wrote for AE’s scifi flash contest. The excellent folks over at Interstellar Fiction accepted this piece earlier this month for publication in their inaugural issue. Working with Adam Crouse, in [...]

“To Live Fighting” Published in A Wicked Bag of Suspense Tales

For the past two years, Wicked East Press has held a challenge of sorts. Authors threw their names into a pot to see who’s names would be drawn. Ten authors are picked at random and Jessica A. Weiss assigned us a genre. After that, authors are to create a writing prompt and the prompts [...]

In the Wake of Story-a-Day May 2012

It’s been roughly two weeks since Story-a-Day May 2012 came to a close. I posted a total recap about the experience, so I won’t go back into that. Today, I’d rather discuss the days after the challenge and what progress I’ve made thus far. Over at Scribophile, we had a Story-a-Day May group and we [...]

Story-a-Day May 2012 – Conquered!

Well, it’s June 1st and Story-a-Day May 2012 is officially over. Last year, I wrote 31 stories. This year, I wrote 37. My word count this year was huge (80,000 words), but really I’m more excited about the actual stories than the word count. Since I only work three days a week now, I had [...]

“Dragons of Fire” Published in Niteblade Magazine, Issue 20

Today marks my 16th story published. ”Dragons of Fire” is a flash piece I wrote duringlastyear’s Story-a-Day May and I’m delighted to see it in its new home over at Niteblade Magazine, Issue 20. I had submitted this piece to quite a few markets before Niteblade gave me a thumbs up – and I always [...]
