Hi,

I hope the new year has been good for everyone so far. I have my usual mix of random stuff going on - web site projects, stamp business, trying to squeeze in creative hours.

Here's the writing news ...


The BIG news:
Two stories ("The Goblin Saint" and "One Mistake at a Time") accepted for the Amazon
Shorts program. So, you'll be able to get them for 99 cents on Amazon soon. A nice
opportunity. They're wacky comedies, so I hope they will be hard for all those millions
of readers to resist.

Still waiting on the new story collection ("Blank Spaces & other dangers") from
Rage Machine Books. I'm looking forward to it!

Got my copy of the Magazine of Speculative Poetry (v7 #3) with my poem in it. Very cool.
