I’ve always loved the short story form, and more recently have also begun dabbling in flash fiction (also described as “postcard fiction” or “fast fiction”), generally representing fiction no longer than 1,000 words. In today’s world, magazines won’t accept material published elsewhere, and publishing on your own website counts, so I don’t publish content of unpublished stories here. If you’re interested in reading any of the stories listed that aren’t yet published, shoot me a line and I’ll be happy to share a link with you.
