short stories

Available Fall of 2014 from Start Media.8

Below are short stories that are going to be packaged into an anthology called When the Mirror Breaks because they are mostly about people suffering “bad luck” after doing bad things.  Following each title is the word count and a short description.  And yes, that is a pseudonym.  

It will be available in the Fall of 2014 from Whiskey Creek Press.

If you would like to read any, just let me know.

  1. I so agree with the no photoshop aspect. I love to take pictures and prefer to have my work judged by what I took, not how I edited it. If a picture can’t stand on its own, is it really good enough. 🙂
