New Album Update. Supreme thanks to Aimee Bruckner Design Studio for the cover design. Special thanks, also, to photographer Richard Osborn. And, of course, massive thanks to John Vanderslice and the incredibly talented crew at Tiny Telephone Recording. More to come soon.
Here’s a new story on Defiant Scribe just in time for Christmas. Thanks to the editors for their introduction.
“Christmas Ghosts by Greg Roensch imagines the ghosts of Christmas past not as literal, Dickensian figures but rather the ghosts that lurk in our memories. A series of short paragraphs tell two very different tales: one of the protagonist’s current, bleak Christmas and one of the wondrous Christmas of yesteryear. Heartbreaking and haunting, this work of flash fiction paints a stunning portrait in very few words.”
Well, the Alien didn’t win, but he received a few nice comments from the judge:
“Great title. And the quirky illustration* is priceless … Your prose is very sharp and everyday realistic … Great morbidly fun opener! … You seem to be at your best on the dark side.”
– Judge, 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards
Spiders anyone? I have a new story called Daddy Long Legs in the newly released Halloween edition of Defiant Scribe. The editors call it “darkly funny and terrifically twisted … with some terrifying imagery.” Trick or treat!!!
I’m grateful to those who came to the show last Saturday at The Lost Church. The feedback has been very positive. Many have even told me it was an “inspiring” evening, which makes me very happy. Thank you!!!
Huge thanks to everyone who came to the show at The Lost Church, a gem of a performance space in the heart of the Mission District.
Set list: And then my tooth fell out, The Cloud, One More Shot, Don’t Forget to Pack Your Hand Grenade, Come On Over, Bad Hombres, Pygmalion, Hello Thelonious, Hey World, The Secret of True Happiness, Trigger Finger (America the Beautiful), Speak Your Mind, Nobody But You.
Take a break from the tweets and posts … and enjoy (hmmm, maybe that’s not the right word) this story just published in Defiant Scribe about an arctic vacation gone terribly wrong.
Here’s what the editors say about it: “suspense builds as the piece masterfully unfolds to reveal the supposed misdeed at the story’s center; the plot is fascinating enough—and the writing strong enough—to sustain even a full-length novel, but instead it smoothly wraps up in a tight 1,725 words.”
Reminder … come on over … to The Lost Church … on Saturday … August 25th … for a great time out in The City … with me … and Ayouba Karamoko … tickets available now at TheLostChurch.com.
Come on down to see me and the multi-talented Brother Ayouba at The Lost Church on Aug 25.
Milestone achieved. I just logged in my 400th project for Six String Communications. Thanks to everyone who’s kept the little engine chugging on down the track.
