Readers’ Favorite review of “Nothing Short of Odd”
Captain’s Log
Captain’s (B)Log.
What else?
Ready, steady, go!
The Advance Reader Copy is ready.
The title is nothing short of odd. Like the author.
An unsolicited collection of unlikely stories
Today I was informed that the latest short story I worked on was accepted by a literary magazine and will be online in April. Hence the question: why not gather the stories that have appeared in magazines into a collection?
Does it make sense? No.
Could it be yet another nonsense I do? Yes.
The answer is therefore a foregone conclusion. Let’s aim for June. Stay tuned.
This rain seems bound to last forever
“The Rain”, an old favorite of mine, today in The Chamber Magazine.
Thanks, Phil Slattery, for publishing it.
That anthology of tales with a funny title
“The Fourth Tale” is up at Fiction on the Web, online and continuously publishing since July 1996, which makes it the oldest short stories website on the Internet.
Thank you, Charlie Fish.
It’s a great honor.
The strange and dark and beautiful
When Phil Slattery replied to my submission, saying that all three of my flash fiction stories had been accepted for the August issue, I couldn’t believe it. I wrote these pieces over twenty years ago, and it’s great to find out they still have something to say today.
I’m happy and honored to announce that “When Angels Die”, “Never Meet Your Hero”, and “The Lament” have been published in The Chamber Magazine, home for the strange and dark and beautiful.
Thank you so much, Phil.
A dramedy with a funeral
“Another Sun” is live at Spillwords.
It was supposed to be a dramedy, but I don’t know what it actually is.
Thanks, Dagmara, for giving this flash fiction a chance.
How about a Christmas tale?
Thanks, Racconticon, for publishing the original Italian version of “The Maker of Crèches”.
Please meet “Il fabbricante di presepi”.
