Friends:


Happy post-Halloween!


I'm pleased to announce that my short story, Ride Like the Wind, has been published by Stupefying Stories!


Not only is this one of my most noteworthy publication credits to date, it is also personally gratifying because the publisher of Stupefying Stories is none other than world renowned author [and fellow Minnesotan], Bruce Bethe -- who happens to be one of my favorite authors! 


Thank you to Mr. Bethke for his consideration of my story--very exciting to have my work be part of such a tremendously diverse publication, with such varied and provocative stories.


I've always gotten a little choked up every time I read this piece, but I've never known whether this was attributable to me simply being too close to the material or whether the writing was actually emotionally evocative.


I invite everyone to read the story via the link provided above, and to leave comments / feedback on the Stupefying Stories website letting me know what you think.

Creepy Campfire Quarterly #2 available on Amazon.com...

...featuring my short story, Unsafe.  

Creepy Campfire Quarterly, published by EMP Publishing, is the brain child of Jennifer Word--a terrific editor and talented writer.  And not surprisingly, the collection does not disappoint.

I just got my copy the other day, and this is a terrific anthology full of eclectic, entertaining horror stories.

CCQ #2 is available at Amazon.com in both KINDLE and PAPERBACK versions.  

Enjoy reading--and Happy Memorial Day Weekend, everyone!

Belated follow up on Lost Luggage

Readers:

Just a quick note to inform that my short story, Lost Luggage, was published as the feature story of February 2016 by Anotherealm -- a publication that focuses on speculative fiction in the horror, sci fi, and fantasy genres.

Being published by Anotherealm is a prestigious honor, as only one story is selected to be published every month.  I'm quite pleased that this quirky story found a home at such a perfect match of a publication venue.

Here's what the Anotherealm editors had to say about my short story:

I don't fly any more. I flew a lot when I was younger and was terrified each time. A white-knuckle passenger, I several times shuddered my way through a flight from Kennedy to Dhahran (13 hours non-stop). That one is no longer flown, but that's why this story struck me as horrifying. It's a dark, modern nightmare to warm you these cold February nights. No. Don't thank me. Instead drop a comment on our BBS. -GM

New year brings another publication

I'm pleased to report that the year has started off with a bang, as I just got word that my short story, Lost Luggage, has been selected to appear in Anotherealm's 2016 lineup.

Anotherealm is a horror / sci fi / speculative fiction publication that features one short story every month.  My short story will be published next month [February 2016].

Lost Luggage is a story about a woman on-board a trans-Pacific flight with her family who awakens to discover that her son is no longer on the plane.  A genre-bending weird tale, I'm pleased that this quirky story landed with a great publisher like Anotherealm.

Happy new year!
