My flash fiction story “Dirty Linen” was originally titled “Summer Cottage.” The inspiration was seeing some children excitedly running up the steps of a riverside cottage in West Virginia. It is a bit of an abrupt end of innocence story. Take a read here.

New Flash Fiction

I have a new flash fiction up at Idle Ink. It’s a little on the dark side. I’ve been focusing on flash (short short stories) in the little time I have for writing of late. I will eventually return to the longer form.

MIA
Progress is being made, albeit slowly, on my essay collection. As “they” say, life gets in the way. In the meantime, one of my short stories was just published. Check it out at Passing on the Road on a Summer’s Evening.
The Consequences of Forgetting the Sardines
I love vignettes like Eva Silverfine’s ‘The Consequences of Forgetting the Sardines’ that just build and build and then boom! I’m sure many husbands, myself included, will feel a little guilty for sometimes – sometimes mind you! – being a bit like the antagonist. —Ken, Editor, Spank the Carp
