“The FictionPool” has accepted my short experimental poem Friday Night for publication sometime in December, 2016.

For your reading amusement–this humorous little tale entitled “The Blessed Virgin” I wrote that appeared today on Fiction On The Web.

Today marks my 1000th Duotrope story entry. I logged my first transaction on Dec. 11, 2011. Over the past five years, I’ve logged submissions to 367 different markets. Thus far I have had 127 out of a total of 141 accepted for publication–both in print and online. Two submissions were full-length novels, one was a novella, and another was a story anthology; the remainder were short stories and flash fiction. As a writer, I’ve found Duotrope to be an invaluable resource.

My silly little ten-word story “Thirsty Horse” is available for reading on Dime Show Review. I like the fact that they made it appear to be produced on an old Underwood manual typewriter.

My non-fiction short story, “Those Two Legs” appears in the July 31, 2016 issue of “The Magnolia Review.”
