Short Story to appear in Jersey Devil Press
“Interview with a Trout at a Sidewalk Cafe in Amsterdam,” a 720 word surreal meditation on mortality, Just appeared in the April 2025, issue 128, of Jersey Devil Press (https://www.jerseydevilpress.com/?page_id=8984). Amazingly, they accepted the story less than two weeks after I finished it!
Lots of submissions
I just submitted several poems and short stories. Since I stopped worrying about finding an agent for “To Bury Lilly” my productivity has been explosive. See the blog for why I (temporarily) stopped looking for an agent, and “Current Projects” in the top menu to see what I’ve been up to.
“Now You See Me” (short story) short-listed again
Synkroniciti (a very nice literary magazine) short listed my short story NOW YOU SEE ME, but passed on it in the end. That’s the fourth award this (still unpublished, debut) short story has won. Hey, world: you’re missing something special here. NOTE: Synkronicity published a re-written version (see News). World, show your gratitude to Synkroniciti!
