I’ve been wanting to write something along these lines for awhile now. I decided that the month I’ve devoted to short fiction would be a good time, since I tend to explore dark topic in short fiction. I just finished writing a story about the Holocaust. I’m actually surprised that it took me so longContinue reading “Writing About The Horrors”

That stands for Unidentified Funny Objects. This anthology is probably one of the more intimidating ones I’ve posted about, because past collections have included such writers as Neil Gaiman and George R.R. Martin.

For book publishing- Genre- dystopian, near futureContinue reading “Market,Evil Girlfriend Media”

Reblogging for Throwback Thursday. Yes, I know it’s not really November.

Here’s my most recent piece. Hope you like it. The Demon That Followed us Home     You run into demons sometimes, in my profession. Vile little things made from bad feelings and bad negative energy. I considered them nothing more than a nuisance. Human women deal with pests like ants and mice. I, as aContinue reading “Demon”
