“Look Away” Accepted by “The Serulian”
The publication The Serulian has accepted my flash piece entitled Look Away for publication on August 15.
The Serulian is “an indie literary magazine from the shores of Istanbul and Hong Kong. We’re all about discovering the different sides of life […] We believe in finding magic in the mundane. That’s not to say that we’re not fans of the most unexpected, lovesick, pessimistic, hopeful, and outrageous stories around.

“Late Afternoon Railroad” Accepted by “Chestnut Review”
My photograph entitled “Late Afternoon Railroad” has been accepted by Chestnut Review for inclusion in its Summer issue.
CR: “Starting a literary magazine is never a wise idea, really. But we’re a little bit stubborn. A little bit picky in what we want. And if we don’t see it, then we want to create it (another great American value!) […] Artists who persist despite rejection, the intrusions of real life, the bills that must be paid, the jobs that must be done before any art can be created. That’s the best kind of stubbornness.”
“Bad Dog!”
Looks like I’m not the only person turning out science fiction based on Laika, the 1950s era Soviet space dog. I came across a short sci-fi horror movie this evening entitled “Laika:”
“Fleeing from a catastrophic accident aboard the International Space Station, a lone Cosmonaut faces a haunting spectre from his country’s past. But is it all just in his mind?”
