Ed Meeks’ short story book “Luck: Stories” was the first book of stories (not flash or micro) I’d read in a long time. Since then I’ve read a number of short story books and then re-read Ed’s which is thoroughly enjoyable and as good as anyone’s.  I recommend it highly. I have also enjoyed immensely Rob Dinsmoor’s  and Gregory Wolos’ short fiction.  Add to that Michael C. Keith‘s numerous flash/micro books and memoir and finally Phil Temples’ novels and his flash book and you have a collection of writing to keep you entertained in the house, on the beach, in the backyard or on an airplane or cruise.  And they’re all Bards!   Finally, Renuka Raghavan’s new book is out soon from Cervena Barva.   Enjoy them all !

Two of my short stories were accepted for publication this past week. My nano-fictional piece, “Die-Off” was accepted by 50-Word Stories.  Also, my sci-fi flash piece, “O Holy Night” was accepted for publication by Five On the Fifth.

Yesterday, I was interviewed on Zoom by Linda McHenry for The Writer’s Voice podcast. I spoke about my writing career, and my Carrie Bloomfield series of scientific murder mysteries.  I also described my novel “The Kanawha Anomaly” coming out from Moonshine Cove Publishing in August, 2021, 

The interview was a lot of fun. Linda has a way of putting even the most nervous interviewee at ease!

Two of my very good friends, Michael C. Keith and Greg Wolos, will appear in support of their new books in the following venue:
