Greetings! If you're looking for a story to read, I have a new publication in the Barcelona Review. The story, titled "On the Tenth Day, I Kept it Down," is based on some research done about the Darfur region. It's realistic, and if you know anything about the genocide in Darfur, you know what that means. I hope you enjoy it, and have a great week.

Greetings, all!

For those of you not in the know, my first short story collection is coming out next year courtesy of Brown Paper Publishing. In the meantime, each of the short stories is going to be published in their literary journal, which you can either purchase or download. The journal looks great, but for those who prefer to read on their computers, the publisher also provides each of the featured story online at no charge. If you want to purchase the print journal, click here.

For those of you who prefer to read the stories online (hey, it's okay ... I'm not mad that you're not buying a print copy!), follow one of the links below. None of the short stories is particularly vulgar, etc., and are safe for work.

For those of you who love to support local authors, etc., or just enjoy reading good fiction, I have two short stories in the first issue of Predicate, a literary journal put out by Brown Paper Publishing (and we're talking about publishing something else, too ...).

Here's the best part of the deal: buy a copy through their Web site, and you get a FREE $10.00 Amazon.com gift card! You can't beat that deal, that's for sure. Plus, you get to read two short stories by me and a bunch of other fiction from other authors. Cool!
