Well, gosh gee willy, who woulda thunk it, but it seems that the Autumn 2008 issue of Greatest Uncommon Denominator, featuring a very short story by yrs truly with the absurdly long name "The Dragon's Thorn, Sword Of Kings (&Fred)", [As well as a novellete by the charming ombriel, just before in the Table Of Contents, amusingly enough] is avaliable for ( Read more... )

No long meandering discourse on vague ephermia cluttering my head at this moment, just a brief note that my audio short story, Oh, Right, The Sun Also Rises, is free all this week at Sniplits.com. If you have ever wanted to hear a narrator narrate some narration*, this is your chance*I don't want to think what they paid that dude for the sheer ( Read more... )

Been a busy month. Will talk of it later, if I decide to. More busy months ahead. I am probably the most tanned I have been in my life. Have I been leaving you fallow, sweet internet? Could you ever survive? Perhaps another man on a great white horse will come and gather you to his blog in the woods, where forever you will live among the peaceful ( Read more... )

You will be pleased to know that I have a bit of flash fiction up at From the Asylum this month, entitled The Storytelling Ape. It is short and sweet and in the end they all live happily ever after.

I've come to accommodation with Dark Wisdom, so you can buy it now if you want to. It's all horror-y and Dark, though, so, I don't know, if you ( Read more... )

I have just moved a short story, 2,000 or so words of length and in progress, to my out-dated folder. This feels like a important step in quality. I don't know. I am replacing it with a short story called Being Of The Legends Of Doctor Hassan, which is a collection of some of the strange oral tales and urban legends about that same intensely ( Read more... )

Triangulation: End Of Time is an adorable anthology of stories about the end of time. There are zombie cowboys. There are trickster gods. There are meta-worlds. There are time-travel paradoxes.

They were moments from reaching that high
But she accidentally kneed him in the thigh
he slipped out from understanding
Left her empty, left her standing
So she cut off her knee from crotch on down
No more injuries from now on.
He returned to her as a bird to a wire
And they were one with their desire.

Darling, I'm not waiting on anything ( Read more... )

Story time with Uncle Flax!

My first submission to any magazine ever was to The Book Of Wisdom (The magazine of dark fiction & Lovecraftian horror). I forget how I found it! But oh boy it sure looked darkSo, being the silly 'tard that I am, I fished through my poems for the darkest one I could find and mailed it off to the submission email with ( Read more... )

Oh
To be an Outdoorsman,
Or a cowboy,
or a ranger-
the very man of nature!
Who boils his coffee from a bag
and drinks from the clear stream
feeding on dry rations
or by the skill of his gun-
