News: March 2010

Sorry it took me a few days to post this month’s update. This past week I was fortunate enough to buy a new car, and that dominated most of my time. For me, there’s always a pang of guilt when I make a very large purchase. I typically have to step back from myself and say, "This is what you work for. And if you don’t spend it once and a while (and responsibly), what’s the point?" In any case, I’m the proud owner of a 2009 Honda Fit that I’m coming to enjoy very much (photos forthcoming).

Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who stopped by my site or Read Short Fiction.com to view my latest short story, "Ragnarok." Special thanks goes out to everyone who trafficked over from one of my favorite sites in the world, Geekologie. In case you missed it, "Ragnarok" is available to read free either on the stories page or at Read Short Fiction.com.

I’m also happy to report that the Crawford novella, "Shots from a Chrome Revolver" is being edited by a published author. This should be the final step before I start searching for an agent. The collection is tentatively titled The Horse Thieves and Other Tales of the New West. You can read the first story in the collection, "The Horse Thieves," for free on the stories page.

I’m also working on three new short stories, one that I’m revisiting from late-2008 and two new concepts: a contemporary ghost story and a cyberpunk tale. More on these in the future.

Until next time, thanks for visiting and happy reading.
