Thanks to Defiant Scribe for including my new short story — An Adventure in Art Appreciation — in their recently released “Adventure & Exploration” edition. I wrote the story after visits to the British and Tate Britain museums in June 2019.
Excited to share a new video for “Remember the War to End All War,” a song from my upcoming album.
So many people to thank: John Vanderslice (producer), Carly Bond (guitar, vocals), Robert Shelton (keyboards, synthesizers), James Riotto (bass, synthesizers), Jason Slota (drums, percussion), Crystal Pascucci (cello), Jacob Winik (mastering).
And super huge thanks to Matthew Washburn for making the video.
Well, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. New album coming soon … it’ll be available on a bunch of digital platforms and on CD, too. Thanks to the super talented Aimee Stevland at Aimee Bruckner Design Studio for bringing her artistic talents to the project.
What’s in the Meaning of That Cloud in the Sky … coming soon.
A few weeks ago I spent some time in Tomales Bay on the California coast (about two hours north of San Francisco). Parts of this new story published on Defiant Scribe are loosely based on things that happened while I was in Tomales Bay, though most of the story is a complete fabrication.
I have a new short, short story appearing today on 101words.org.
How short is it? Well, it’s only 101 words, of course.
Check it out.
A war. A boy. A pig. A balloon. And an invitation for you to read my new story (Marikina) … just posted for Short Edition’s Button Fiction contest.
This is not a true story. But it’s inspired by one.
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!!!
