A Few Stories for You
I haven’t had a lot of time for reading short fiction lately, a fact which makes me sad. Hopefully, things will calm down at work soon (the fall is our busiest season), and I can get caught up on Every Day Fiction and all the other great ‘zines out there.
However, I have managed to read a few stories every once in a while, so here are a few links that I think y’all might be interested in.
First off, my writing group mate, Alex, has a story out in Big Pulp. It’s called “Big in Ak-Sar-Ben,” It’s a fun flash piece — a bit steam punk, a bit superhero. I love the professor main character, and how brains over brawn save the day.
Second, K.C. Ball had a story in EDF earlier this month called “Canticles.” It’s a ton of action packed into the flash fiction format. And, if you want more stories, you can always check out K.C.’s speculative flash fiction e-zine, 10Flash.
Finally, also at EDF this month, check out “Grown from Man to Dragon” by Megan Arkenberg. I love Megan’s fantasy stories, and this is no exception. She knows how to pack a lot of world into a small word count. And, for more stories, you can check out Megan’s fantasy e-zine, Mirror Dance.
Happy reading!

Thank you for the kind words, Erin. Thought you might like to know that I’m still getting reads, over at 10Flash, on your first issue story.
That’s awesome, K.C. I’m glad to hear it!
I wish I had some time to write… I’d love to take a crack at that dusk encounter theme. Sadly, the baby plus the full-time job do not leave much time for it these days. Hopefully, that will change the older and more self-sufficient she gets.
