A flash story of mine, titled “The Macaw,” was published today at Revolution John. It’s a crime story. And a love story. Just in time for Valentine’s Day.

See below for a fantastic short story from the inimitable @coyhall.bsky.social. The level of world-building and characterization in a 25-page story is incredible (yet, as a fan of Coy’s writing, not surprising; he’s one of the best to do it).

Great stories here, Folks! Be sure to read HIGH MARKS by @frankvatel312.bsky.social - a short, unsettling piece over on Punk Noir. One of the best I read in 2025. Chilling and as good as they come.
If, like me, you are catching up on the 'good stuff' from late 2025 - join me in taking a look at these, will you?
Year’s end. A time for family, reflection, and one last stab at self-promotion.
Also, an opportunity to thank @bristolnoir.bsky.social, All Due Respect, and Punk Noir Magazine (twice!) for sharing my stories.
