And just that quick we’re kicking off 2025 (oh, writing gods, please continue to be kind!), with my second appearance in After Dinner Conversation with “Present in Time.” Unfortunately, you can’t read this one for free, but it is available right now as an actual magazine (with paper, remember those!) with an even more affordable Kindle eBook version releasing January 10 (Print: $12.95; eBook: $2.99).
I was excited to find myself leading off the issue, with “Present in Time” appearing on pages 5-18. Okay, no biggie really, but it did give me a little extra feel-good jolt! Anyway, here’s page 5 as a little teaser to get you over to Amazon (or, even better, After Dinner Conversation) to make that buy:
“Present in Time” is my second appearance in After Dinner Conversation, following my story “Jerry’s World,” which appeared in the February 2023 edition. I’m thrilled that some of my more offbeat writing matches the style of this magazine, and extra excited to be included in an issue so soon after After Dinner Conversation took first place in Chill Subs’ Community Favorites Best Fiction Lit Mags of 2024. Congratulations, guys!
Once more, “Present in Time” in After Dinner Conversation, January 2025, available on Amazon and at their own website, where they offer a pretty nifty trial subscription (3 months for $1 as of this writing).
