Fruits
I have been very, very busy lately. I’ve been working at promoting my book, and writing smaller bits when I have a chance. I’ve had a few things published in the past couple of months, and I thought I’d make up a list for those of you who like reading the things I write–in case I’ve not talked enough about them already.
In March, Every Day Fiction published my story, What Name Do I Give Her?, a semi-autobiographical flash fiction experimental bit about crystal meth and a stripper I once knew oh so well. The New Flesh featured my flash story, Hunting J.K. I can’t tell you much about it without giving it all away, but it’s about time-travel and changing history.
Withersin came out with their new format in April, launching three magazines combined into one thick treat of terror and weirdness. My story, Sculpting, is inside. It’s a story about a talented little guy who meets a God. It’s also about spiders. That one you can’t find online.
In May I wrote up an article for Garrett Cook and Crew’s bad movie review blog, Dollar Bin Massacre. I tried to defend Battlefield Earth. Eric Mays interviewed me on his excellent new site, The Authors Speak. It’s one of my all-time favorite interviews. That site in general is a great place to go to learn the inside stuff on lots of great writers. Eric knows how to ask the right questions. A story of mine, The Skin of the Mountain, came out in Dark Recesses Magazine on Mother’s Day. It’s one of my personal favorites. I hope you like it, too. It’s about life-cycles and a bug apocalypse.
I also sold another of my favorite stories to an upcoming anthology called, Toe Tags II. Watch for announcements about that. It’s a story I wrote over fifteen years ago.
Bizarro Bootcamp is coming up soon. I’m pretty excited about that and I hope to tell you all a great deal more about it afterward, before I head to CryptiCon. I’m preparing for bootcamp by writing a story (finished last night) I hope to sell to an upcoming anthology and taking it as easy as possible for the next two weeks.
Thanks for reading!

I see I missed a few in here. How did that happen? I will remedy this soon. You’re a productive fruit tree, Kev. I recall you writing something about Peaches in the past.

Hey man, Ed from Radcon here. I’ve been reading some of your flash and I think I get the appeal you were talking about–it really makes you choose what to summarize and what to dramatize. I finally tried a couple pieces of my own; working with such tight limitations has some crazy implications for how to treat your longer works.
Good to see you cracking all these markets. Keep em coming.

Hi, Ed! It’s great to hear from you!
You’re absolutely right about flash. I’m glad you’ve been exploring it. I haven’t done it yet, but I’d like to write a story as a novella, short story, and flash piece. Just to see. Because all those stories are in a bit of flash, I think.
Thanks for keeping up. I hope to talk to you soon, and see some flash of yours out there. Let me know!
Jodi, you KNOW I love to hear what you think ’bout what I’ve got out there. Thank you!
