Check out my latest short, short story called It’s the Water for the fine people at Defiant Scribe.
The editors call it “a terrifically unsettling, memorably spooky tale in just 708 words—complete with an ending that will stick with you long after you’ve finished reading.”
A friendly tip … don’t drink the water!
Sometimes the best travel destinations are close to home.

I just learned that my story “On My Way Home” is a finalist in Fiction War’s latest quarterly contest. For those counting, this is my third straight entry to make it to the finals. Woohoo!!!
The Fiction War prompt for this contest was “I, Monster.” Creepy and quirky. Just the way I like it.
I hope you’ll check out my story when it’s published in Fiction War Magazine. It’s hard to say when that will be, but I’ll be sure to let you know.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, here’s a new story, published by DefiantScribe.
Here’s what the editors say about it:
“… an almost criminally charming story about the hope of a better romance, a better tomorrow, and the simple pleasures of connecting with another person. In an age dominated by cell phones, social media, and various methods of online communication, Romance, Shromance feels like a throwback in the best of ways, reminding us that taking a moment to chat with a stranger can be fulfilling in its own right, and the nostalgia of this simplicity makes the piece all the more enjoyable.”
Exciting news! I’ve been chosen as one of 15 finalists in Fiction War’s Fall 2017 flash fiction contest for my story Always on the Run.
One story will be chosen as the grand prize winner. All 15 final stories will be published in Fiction War Magazine.
