A Year of Fiction Publications

Part of the purpose of this space, more than anything, is to write something as often as possible, to keep the stew going so to speak. Over the past year, this has resulted in numerous fiction publications, all flash, that have allowed me to push the boundaries of my writing and get my name out there a bit more. Of the five, you can read three free online, and I urge you to do so, not because it supports me (I get nothing from the venture other than personal satisfaction), but rather to support these journals and their efforts.

June 2013: My short piece or flash/poetry (50 words), "The Unfulfilled List" went live on Gravel.

Fall 2013: "Cow Dog and Swift," previously published by the Writer's Post Journal, republished by Fiction Southeast.




December 2013: Emerge Literary Journal published my flash fiction piece, "So Much Like You."

Spring 2014: The East Jasmine Review published my flash fiction piece "Shogun" in issue 1.4.

April 2014: The Rappahannock Review published another piece of flash fiction "Blessings."

"So Much Like You" published in the Winter 2013 Emerge Literary Journal

One of my favorite pieces of writing of all time, one of those few times where everything felt perfect and right, has finally found a home. The piece of flash fiction written around 2005 and persistently edited since, can be found in the Winter 2013 issue of Emerge Literary Journal and is titled "So Much Like You." Please check it out.



Also, Gravel Magazine released a piece of flash fiction/free verse poetry of mine online that can be found here. The 50 word piece, a result of my recent effort to produce quality, single serving literature (discussed here), aims to explore the idea of lists, their meaning, and their endgame purpose.

New Publication: The Unfulfilled List (Gravel A Literary Journal)

A quick post here. Gravel Magazine just released a piece of flash fiction/free verse poetry of mine that can be found here. The 50 word piece, a result of my recent effort to produce quality, single serving literature (discussed here), aims to explore the idea of lists, their meaning, and their endgame purpose.
