A Dark and Stormy 2020
Okay, so 2020 is a pretty dark and stormy year, but this post is actually about the 2020 Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest. Last year I won in the Fantasy and Horror category. This year I didn’t do quite as well, but …

Recently I posted about a couple of my short stories that just came out, including Waiting to Sleep in Literary Hatchet #24, and R.I.P. in Ink Stains Anthology #13. At the time, Waiting to Sleep was only available in print …
Waiting to Sleep
My short story Waiting to Sleep just came out in the magazine Literary Hatchet #24. At the moment, only the (free) e-book version is available (although you have to register to download it), but the print version should be out …

A Dark and Stormy Night
Everyone has heard of Bulwer-Lytton’s opening to the book Paul Clifford (even if they don’t know where it came from): “It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was …
Transcendent update
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a short story coming out in an anthology called Transcendent, some time during this holiday season (which I think means November/December?). The book publishers have a blog, and I have a …
