R.I.P.

By Arlen Posted on October 31, 2019 Posted in Writing 2 Comments

My story R.I.P. just got published in the Ink Stains Anthology #13! Since Anna is such a big zombie fan, I figured I should try writing a zombie story, which turned into R.I.P. It is not exactly a classic zombie …

I have a new story called Graveyard in the November, 2018 edition of Metaphorosis magazine! Despite the title, it is, at least for me, a fairly upbeat story. You can buy the magazine from Amazon (print or e-book) if you …
