Just another rundown, put down, and kicked around old Boomer who’s been beaten up, blown up, then written it up.

Background
Information

I've been a country grocery store clerk, oil field roustabout, infantry soldier, government paper pusher, out-of-work, and a newspaper columnist. I'm now trying to add published novelist to my resume.
My short fiction has appeared in: ROSE & THORN, DEADMULE, USADS, NEW WORKS REVIEW, CHICK FLICKS, MUSCADINE LINES, and LONG STORY SHORT.
LSS also ran an excerpt of my second novel, WE DANCED TO RAY CHARLES, a coming-of-age love story that was named a Faulkner competition semi-finalist and a finalist by the Santa Fe Writer's Project contest.

Eternal Press, took a story of mine, A Special Present, as a stand-alone, seasonal short. It'll go on sale 11/7.
Blue Cubicle Press has a "Workers Write" themed anthology series. So far they've done classroom and cubicle. The next one, clinic, will be out in the spring. For that issue they accepted a short story, The Kiss, which I adapted from chapter one of my novel, A Brief Affair.
Sensorotika, has accepted a story of mine, The Touch of Her Thigh, for an anthology they're calling, Sweet Tea and You: Erotica with a Southern (USA) Accent.
