Category: Short Stories

As I reported last month, my flash story “The Power to Heel” (sic) is featured along with nine other authors’ stories in the first issue of Zvi Sesling’s 10 By 10 Flash.  An online copy of the issue can be downloaded for free from the 10×10 web site.

Congrats to Zvi!

The Short Humour Site has accepted my flash piece entitled “Selfie Bear.” 

Altered Reality Magazine has accepted my flash story, “Craving,” for publication in an upcoming issue.

Vine Leaves Press’ 50 Give or Take has accepted my micro story entitled, “When Your Girl Has Left You.” It will appear as story #658.

The online journal Underside Stories just accepted my short story entitled “Redemption” as a reprint for inclusion in a future issue. This piece originally appeared in Literary Yard in December 2013. 

My flash story, “Ambush,” was accepted this morning by Fiction On the Web.  Ambush is the third in my “Rambo” series. I hope to expand the stories into a novelette one of these days. 

The Short Humour Site has accepted my flash piece entitled “Ancient Chinese Remedy.” It should appear on their website early next week.

On May 16, a portion of my short story “Squeeze Play” was read and critiqued by members of the Mystery Writers of America New England Chapter at their annual  themed Author Idol meeting via Zoom. 

The format for Author Idol is: the first few pages of anonymous submissions are read by a professional voice. Three judges listen for style and plot; when they have heard enough, they signify by raising their hand or ringing a bell. Then they give their feedback.

My story reading followed by critique begins around 10:40 into the video, and ends at the 15:50 mark.

My flash piece “Unity,” about a past life, has been accepted by Literally Stories. It’s slated to appear online in early September 2022.
