Escape to Shambhala Sun

My very short story, "Escape" appeared along with my article about noir fiction from a Buddhist perspective in the May issue of "Shambhala Sun". Visit their website to either read the story or order the print issue. While you're there, check out a subscription! It's always a great read.

STORIES ON THE WEB

Here are some stories available on the web. "Full Moon Fever" appears in Dark Fire Fiction. Catch it. "Northbound" appears in the Menda City Review. The political piece "Creepy Uncle Is Watching You" appears in the print magazine Children, Churches and Daddies. You can review it by clicking my name from a list on their site. My author page on Yellow Mama has three stories, "Grown Up Wrong," "Body Dump" and "Lunch Hour." Check them out "here". ""West Texas Job Search" is a madcap romp that ran in the sadly departed Ligature Marks". Thanks, Iron Dave. "Alaska" is not about Alaska. It appears in Amarillo Bay. Three stories ran in the outstanding crime zine Darkest Before the Dawn. Check out "Fire Sale," "A Night at the Hardass" and "Reunion Day." "Workday" is not so recent. It appeared last spring in the short-lived zine, Crooked, and didn't receive much exposure at the time. "Mackler's Last Fare," a story about an Austin cabdriver, appears in a recent edition of the print zine Swill. That's right, Swill. Copies are available at the website, here. " Be sure to check out the other fine stories on these sites. They've got a million of 'em.
