Gag Me with a Spoon, an anthology dedicated to music of the '80s is now available for preorder from White City Press at: whitecitypress.com/product/gagm...
It includes my story, "That Damn Car!" When two teens take a joy ride in a "borrowed" car it sets more trouble in motion than they expected.

Pleased to announce that Yellow Mama published my short story, "A Stinging Rebuke," in its most recent issue. The premise: A farmer is dead. But is it accidental death by bees or homicide by beekeeper? A savvy sheriff figures it out.

The first quarter is over. I didn't accomplish as much as I would have liked to. I wrote two short stories--one was rejected and the other accepted. I guess 50/50 isn't bad!
I'd like to finish three short stories and finish my non-fiction book outline in the second quarter! Fingers crossed!

I'm writing a new short story for a Thanksgiving anthology. I used the same family for last Thanksgiving's anthology and also for a story for another anthology. How many of you use the same characters again in short stories? What do you like about it?

A Killing at the Copa: Stories Inspired by the Songs of Barry Manilow, edited by J. Alan Hartman, is now out. I'm happy to say, my story, "Getting Even Now" is included. You can get this great collection of stories at: www.whitecitypress/product/copa. Happy reading!
