Freebie Week

Oct 13, 2011 Daily Writing, Give Away, Short Stories

In celebration of finishing my latest story, I thought I might give something away.  So here it is–a free story from my past.  In this case it’s “A Matter of Pride,” which appeared some time back in Analog.  It will be here for free for the next week.

If you like that one, you can find more stuff here or here.

While I’m on a linky role, I suppose I should remind all that my one Amazon reviewer (what a lonely guy, eh?) had these wonderful things to say about Picasso’s Cat & Other Stories.

Deca-Dad is Recommended

Mar 1, 2011 Daily Writing, Short Stories

I’m so pleased to report that my short story, “Deca-Dad” made Tangent Online’s 2010 Recommended Reading List.

So, today I’m moving onward with a new short story tentatively titled “Walking the Line.” It’s almost fully formed now. Just looking for that last little thing that moves it from being interesting to really good. You know what I mean, right? That thing you can’t describe, but is certainly real, and that thing you know as soon as you feel it.

Yeah. That thing.

“Ellipses…” Appears in Analog

Feb 26, 2011 Business, Short Stories

I’m excited to report that Analog has published my novelette “Ellipses…” in their May issue. Yes, I know it’s only February. Such is the strangeness of their publishing cycle. It’s a fun story for me to see make print. Hope you chase down a copy.

If you do, feel free to let me know what you think.

Review of an Old Story

Google Alerts brings me the following link, which includes a nice and very well considered review of one of my older stories.

Turns out this guy is going back and reading every issue of Dragon Magazine ever printed. At least that’s the plan. There’s a guy after my own heart. [grin]

And Again…

More kind words about “Deca-Dad” in the December Analog, this time from Sarah Joynt-Borger at Tangent Online.

It’s always fun to see how others look at my work. [grin]
