A few days ago The Norwegian American published a short story that I wrote: “Sebastián and Greta,” which you can read by clicking here. The Norwegian American is a somewhat particular publication, in that they focus on topics that are about Norway AND America. And it just so happens that I wrote a story about …

Eunoia Review published another drabble that I wrote. This one is called “Writing Advice,” and I think the title’s pretty self-explanatory. You can read it by clicking here. I’ve written about drabbles quite bit in the past—flash fiction that is either under 100 words or is 100 words exactly. It isn’t fiction that I can …

Yesterday I got a story “published.” I made a blog post about scifi podcasting magazines a few months back, and I truly believe that audio fiction will grow exponentially in future years. Books on tape have been around for decades, but with everything just so much more digital now, and devices so small… anyway, I’m …

This is my first podcasted story, and my third paying piece of fiction overall. You can listen to it—or read it—on The Centropic Oracle by clicking here. The title is “Lizzy’s Last Chance,” and it’s about the fictional Djinn family. And hopefully some part of that name rings a bell! Now with that out of …

I wrote “DDS Confession” in my head while lost in the woods. You can read it by clicking here. Though I should put “wrote” in quotation marks, as well as “lost,” since I made this all in my head and because I knew my location that day—it was one those circumstances where the map's scale …

A little over a year ago I made a post about getting rejections from job applications and short story submissions. This year I’m extremely content in my place of work (as a high school English teacher), though I am still sending out fiction. And mostly getting rejected. Also, in my last post where I talked …
My previous post was a publication announcement, and so is this—Lite Lit One put my story “The Real McCoy” up about a month ago. So like with that last post, this one is a bit late. But also, this is MY SECOND PAID STORY FOR THE YEAR, and I also think the “The Real McCoy” …

A few days ago Eunoia Review published “Dangerous Words: A Drabble.” You can read it by clicking here. Now first things first, I say “a few days ago” because for some reason I can never keep track of when Eunoia Review publishes my things. They are based in Singapore, which is only a day ahead …

I’ve read almost everything Stephen King has written. Needless to say I’m a big fan, though I can also admit that not everything King produces is equal. The sad part about getting towards the end of his body of work (though King’s still alive and writing—thank goodness!) is since it’s pretty easy to get a …

I recently sold a story to a science fiction podcast. This is exciting news (to me, anyway!), because for the second time ever I'll get paid for writing, and for the first time something I’ve written will be performed. I don’t believe I can say more on that now, but did you know there are …
