I must be getting old …

One of the most beautifully talented poets I know, Stanley Anne Zane Latham, recently had a piece published at Dead Beats Literary Blog, and I missed it!

Enjoy “Listen.”

Let’s all root for Jason Sturner!

Leave a comment

His horror/fantasy poem “Faerystruck Down” has been nominated for the prestigious annual Rhysling Award in the category of “Best Short Poem.”

In addition to being an obviously talented writer, Jason is an extremely nice guy who stops to offer publishing advice for newcomers like me.  He’s exactly the sort of colleague you want to see succeed.

medfield_3 This is a story that was inspired the Daily Prompt: Good Fences? writing prompt.  It took me a bit more than a day to write it, but it was a fun exercise.

Crunchy Girl Haiku: 

Great sense of humor,
But don’t call her “Crunchy Girl.”
She doesn’t like that.

Crowdsourcing, crowdfunding … crowdediting?

I thought this was an interesting and neat idea — you can actually apply online to be a “curator” (i.e., a reader panelist who helps the publisher select stories and poems for publication) for FictionMagazines.com.

Publication Notice, Under The Bed Magazine to feature “The Song of the Wheat.”

Leave a comment

I’ve been informed by the nice folks at Under The Bed Magazine that my short horror story, “The Song of the Wheat,” will appear in an upcoming issue.

This should be my first short story in a print publication inside the United States. This should also be my first real foray into supernatural horror, as opposed to science fiction horror.

I am tremendously grateful to Managing Editor Wednesday Lee Friday and her colleagues for granting me exposure in this terrific horror magazine.
