Another piece of flash fiction a’la moi has found somewhere to call home.  “The Doll” is a very short, but powerful, story that is due to make an appearance in Burst Literary Ezine this fall.  Yay!  You’re going to love this one — honest.  I wish I could offer a sneak peek but for somewhat obvious reasons that’s not going to happen

Big Bear is now live and ready for your reading pleasure at T-Zero.  It’s a funny short story that is actually based on a true story from my days tending bar in Milo, Alberta.

Read, enjoy — it’s good, I promise

My incredibly short piece entitled “A Dozen Things” is now published and viewable at Poor Mojo’s Almanac(k).  It’s not -really- fiction…unfortunately.  I hope you enjoy it

When I popped over to SHINE today to check out my poem, Sandcastle #5 that was due to be published there yesterday I got an interesting surprise.  Not only was my poem published, but my WMD drabble was as well.  I knew I’d submitted it but according to my records I was still waiting for a response.  As far as surprises go, that’s a good one

So yeah, check out my haiku, Sandcastle #5 and my WMD drabble at SHINE

Again the Giant Squid has blessed me with an acceptance   My uber-short piece, A Dozen Things, will be published at Poor Mojo’s Almanak sometime in the coming days — I’ll keep you up to date and post a link as soon as it goes live

“Big Bear” is a flash story I wrote based on my time working as a bartender in little village called Milo.  I worked as a bartender there for a few years (three I think) and in that time I gathered enough material to create boat-loads of incredible characters.

Right now I’m pretty stoked about the story because it’s been accepted for publication at T-Zero which is a paying market *cheers* Rumor is the story will be in the May issue — I’ll keep you updated for sure.

I wrote a flash piece titled ‘Whatcha Gonna Do?’ that when it was read by a friend was described as “…a biting commentary on modern parenting…”. I was very happy with it, and am even more so now that it’s been accepted for the Summer issue of  Skyline Magazine

My story, A Merry Christmas, has been published at Poor Mojo’s Almanac(k)!  Yay!  You’ve got to love any magazine that is edited by a giant squid, don’t you?

I’m very happy that my stories based on the Word of the Week at NaNoLJers have been so well-received.  Now I just need to find some time to write a few more of them.

My Fatherhood drabble has been published at SHINE.  You can check it out here –> Fatherhood .

I’m very pleased with this drabble, it’s been published at two places so far and I think it’s pretty well done.  It confuses me, however, that flash stories I’ve done since then that I think are superior to it keep getting rejected LOL Perhaps it’s the subject matter — things being left unsaid is something everyone can relate to, but maybe not everyone ‘gets’ stupid gangsters or visits from beyond the grave.

Food for thought I suppose, but I’d be lying if I said it would be likely to affect what I wrote in the future

Yay! I just got another acceptance. My Fatherhood drabble has been accepted at SHINE for the February issue I’ll link directly to it as soon as it goes live.
