This just in … my new short, short story “Giant Rock,” inspired by my recent trip to The Integratron, has been accepted for publication in Bright Flash Literary Review. Thank you to them. And, yes, aliens are involved, as are baby quails, a giftshop saleswoman named Venus (who looks like Marilyn Monroe in “Some Like It Hot”), and a talking bobcat.

Always on the Run
Thanks to Potato Soup Journal for picking up my short story “Always on the Run.” This story was inspired by a line from a song. I’ll leave it at that in case anyone wants to guess the song and artist. One clue: the song is not by my favorite band.

What happens when the perky VP of HR stumbles upon an alien in the breakroom? Find out in my short-short story “Orientation” … published today by 365 Tomorrows.
Q&A with Defiant Scribe
Writing is my business. Writing is my passion. Defiant Scribe magazine recently asked me to share a few thoughts about writing, reading, and more. Click on the image below to check out my responses.
Weekend in Tomales Bay
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.
Night in the City
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.
