Ryder Electronic Copy, Casket Suite Published

Let us revisit exactly one week ago, December 5: No, it’s not the right picture — the one for the cover of the December THE RYDER is not out yet, at least electronically. At least as of this writing, nor is the electronic edition of the magazine, actually dated for December/January. But it is here in print as of this Tuesday, December 5, at least on the rack in the Monroe County Library.

A better illo, then, here in a few days?

And this can be noted. This is the Bloomington FICTION edition, subtitled “Short Stories from Bloomington Writers.” Inside there are five stories in all, including the last from Richard H. Durisen, titled “Remembering,” who we’ve met before in October 30, 2022’s Bloomington Writers Guild Last Sunday Poetry post, where he and I had shared pre-Halloween featured reader duties.

Now this can be noted: As of at least late yesterday afternoon, the electronic version of the current THE RYDER, including my story, “Casket Suite,” in the number four spot just before Richard Durisen’s science fiction tale is now live! This is the one, in five parts, that Bloomington Writers Guild First Wednesday Spoken Word aficionados may recall from earlier this year, about those perky New Orleanian ladies of the vampiric persuasion, the “Casket Girls.” It starts on page 50.

And it can be read by pressing here.
