Paula Deen Can Eat Me |
My story "Paula Deen Can Eat Me"
was included in a "shared-world" experiment over at
www.anotherealm.com. The idea was for a group of writers to
all write about the same time and place. This is my contribution.

"The Way of the Warrior" was reviewed |
My story "The Way of the Warrior"
was reviewed by Atomjackmagazine.com and all I can say
is that they don't get much better than this. The reviewer called
it a "gem" of a story and highly recommends it (amongst
others). He even said that it was worth buying the anthology
just for my story. You can't buy that kind of press. To read
the full review, click here: http://blog.atomjackmagazine.com/?p=142 |
| Here There Be Dragons |
"Here There Be Dragons" was published
in Anotherealm.com's Flash Fiction contest. The theme of the
contest is "School" and I wanted to do something in
a Fantasy vein. So went back to an idea that's been bouncing
around in my head for years. It still hasn't come to completion
but this story is a step in the right direction. Check it out
and rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 at www.Anotherealm.com.

| Warts
and All |
My article"Warts and All" which is
about how I came to adopt my 10 year-old dog was published in
the Summer edition of "The New Barker." It's not fiction
but it's still a pretty good story. I've actually heard from
a number of people that the article made them cry (in a good
way). The New Barker is distributed mostly in Florida
but if you happen to find a copy, turn to page 84 for the story. |
| A
Box Full of Nothing |
My story "A Box Full of Nothing" (which
was orginally published by Anotherealm.com in 2007) was reviewed
by Independent Press Review. They also interviewed me.
See what they said about my story and what I had to say for
myself at: http://independentpressreview.blogspot.com |
| Something

The
Up Side of the Apocalypse
|
This is my entry in the Anotherealm.com
"Epic Fail" Flash Fiction Contest. It won Second Place!
The theme of the contest was some really
BIG mistake but I wanted to take it one step further. I wanted
to show a really big mistake that turns out to benefit someone.
So here's to all the nerds. Your time is coming. Read my entry

| The Way of the Warrior |
 Five
long years ago fellow writer Mike Hanson had an insane idea.
He'd conceived of a story involving a "demon apocalypse"
that occurred every 10,000 years called the Sha'Daa. Now the
crazy part of the idea (remember, we're writers, demon apocalypses
don't count as insane) was to invite a group of writers to
write seperate adventures that would fit within the overall
structure of the story. It was to be one story told by many
voices and from many perspectives.
Well, the result was Sha'Daa Tales of the Apocalypse.
It's a collection of Lovecraftian horror stories that range
from the truly frightening to plain old funny. The book is
being published by Altered Dimensions which is an imprint
of Cyberwizard Productions. It was released on May 1st and
it rocks! The book can be purchased directly from the publisher
here,
or through Amazon.com, or Barnes & Noble. You can even
contact me directly for a sweet deal involving the book, shipping
and handling (within the continental US), and an autograph
-- all for just the cover price. Contact
Me directly if you're interested.
Oh, and my story: The Way of the Warrior, features
Shinzo, a Japanese monk who hasn't learned to master anything
other than his Nintendo Game Cube. Yet, the fate of humanity
may rest in his trembling hands.

A
Good Man Is Hard To Find

The latest contest on Anotherealm.com

Tax
Time
|
Well, with April 15th bearing down on us it's no wonder that
the latest contest at Anotherealm.com
has "Taxes" as the theme. You can imagine the kind
of response it drew from the writers. My own humble contribution
to the mix can be found, for free, here.
Post Script: Once the voting was all done my story found
itself in a three-way tie for first place. After a second
round of voting it won First Place against two very strong
stories. My thanks to everyone who voted!

The
Case of the Two Mrs. Lee's
|
Whotleberry Press
is at it again. This time the collection of short stories
involves murder and mystery. The idea was to give the collection
our own unique takes on the murder mystery. I actually struggled
with several ideas before I realized it was time to revist
a couple of my favorite characters: Mr. Wong and his faithful
cat -- Zhan. In "The Case of the Two Mrs. Lee's"
Mr. Wong and Zhan are hired to rid a man of his first wife's
ghost. Problem is, she doesn't want to go and she may have
good reasons for staying. You can buy the book on Whortleberry's
Lulu page -- here.

| One
Last Wish |
This is my first Flash Fiction Contest entry for 2009 over
at Anotherealm.com.
The theme for this contest is: "A Wish Gone Horribly
Wrong." Well, for that kind of mahem you have to go back
to the classics. I immediately decided my story would involve
a D'Jinn (also known as a Genie). Those demons of the desert
are experts at making your fondest wishes go bad. But how
do you put a spin on that? See what I came up with and read
the story for free -- here.
