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!!!

Last Letter from Longyearbyen
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.”
Public Service Announcement
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.
The Lost Church | Aug 25
Come on down to see me and the multi-talented Brother Ayouba at The Lost Church on Aug 25.
Six String Milestone
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.
Travel Writing
Whether writing for work or writing for fun, I’ve always felt it’s a good idea to tackle all sorts of subjects. It might be the latest craze in video games or the benefits of synthetic lubricants. Sometimes it might even be about cool travel destinations.
My latest newsletter is dedicated to my travel writing over the years. If it didn’t show up in your inbox, you can read it here.
It’s the Water
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!
New Travel Article: A Day at Ocean Beach
Sometimes the best travel destinations are close to home.
Here’s my latest travel article — published on GoNomad.com — about a Day at Ocean Beach in San Francisco.
Finalist: On My Way 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.
