A couple of weeks ago I submitted a story to HiLobrow's Radium-Age Science Fiction contest. They were looking for apocalyptic stories under 250 words.

I wrote about Ernest Hemingway and a dog.

And won.

Here's the link to the story:

It was a cool contest. They have more coming up too.

Great stuff in Bartleby-Snopes this month! I'm thrilled to be a part of it:

I haven't been writing enough! Turns out graduate school keeps you busy. I have a few new ones up, though:

"Elton John" at WTF PWM: http://www.wtfpwm.com/content.php?page=12&issue=1_1

"The Cotton Man" at Writers' Bloc: http://www.writersblocmag.org/archives_05/raymond_cotton.html

"How to Live Together" Colored Chalk: http://coloredchalk.com/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=193

I recently heard about a raquetball tournament in northern Wisconsin. It's organized by a small press up there. Whoever wins the tournament will have his chapbook published by this press.

News. "In The Supermarket Where Elton John Was Once Spotted Stealing Pears" was picked up by WTF PWM. It will appear in their first issue, which comes out this December.

Right on.

Also, my story "Box of Fire" is currently up at Writers' Bloc. Read it here:

If I can have a favorite story of all I've written, this would be it.
