My story “Eddie the Simp Holds Court” has been published over at Literary Garage. This story has had a long journey: it was the first short piece I wrote after returning my focus to fiction, but it has changed a lot from the masterpiece I thought I had created when I began submitting it to […]

I'll link to any new publications here and, one of these days, I may actually do a little blogging too.
“1954 Topps Ted Williams #1” at Rundelania
My story “1954 Topps Ted Williams #1” appears in Rundelania #19. I love my story, but I’ll admit, my title doesn’t thrill me.
