Where I've been hiding out...

Hi everyone.

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I've been keeping occupied with the whole writing thing (just submitted two short stories to MLR Press for inclusion into some anthologies and am still waiting to hear back about Pitch). I've also been doing book reviews for a website as well as doing proofreads for authors. This, in addition to my wacky work schedule, has kept me moving pretty much non-stop.

On the plus side! My name got mentioned in the book Deadly Shades of Gold by Ms. Laura Harner, in thanks for my helping her with proofing several stories and I was floored when I saw it. (Yes, I was kinda giddy.)

I'm still hanging around, though. If you ever need me feel free to send a PM and I'll do my best to answer it PDQ. Hope everyone is doing well.

I'm glad you liked it. I just answered another call for stories. This one is called Mixed Tape and it's about love songs on cassette. I chose 500 Miles by the Proclaimers and had so much fun with it. (It made my mama cry. I'm a bad son.)
