Adapting to the Urban Environment at After the Pause

My flash story about smart raccoons in the attic is up in the spring edition of After the Pause.

The Temporary Skull at Hominum Journal

Jonathan Truong and I both had stories in the same issue of Eclectica. He asked if I had anything for Hominum, where he is editor in chief. They focus on the somatic and what’s more somatic than a Temporary Skull?

I think this journal is destined for the top. Excellent layout and stunning artwork, staffed by young people (I can say that, I’m old) and out of Orange County CA, which used to be a bastion of the right. Home to John Wayne airport. Take a look at the masthead page. I feel honorer they would have me.

The artwork on this post is by Eunah Kang, a high school senior with prodigious talents.

Wild Huckleberries at Crack the Spine

New flash fiction called Wild Huckleberries up at Crack the Spine. Inspired by bear scat that looked like blueberry cobbler on a hike up Mt. Pilchuck off the Mountain Loop Highway. Also inspired by almost falling off the trail and finding a dropped pocket knife. Picture is from near the Mt. Pilchuck lookout.

The Appendix up at Eclectica

The Appendix, my first flash story of 2021, is up at Eclectica, which has been publishing on the web for 25 years. Founded by Thomas Jefferson or something.
