Appomattox – New Historical Fiction from The Thieving Magpie

New Historical Fiction – Appomattox

Appomattox – New Historical Fiction, just published by the fine folks at The Thieving Magpie. My short story Appomattox appears in the latest issue of The Thieving Magpie. This is my fifth story to be published by this fine online Zine, and I couldn’t be happier. I am proud to be a regular contributor to The Thieving Magpie.

Appomattox tells the tale of one Confederate soldier, his long war, the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, and the ghosts of his comrades. It is a dark read, to be sure, but it is a dark history.

Autumn is Upon Us…

Here in Wien (that’s Vienna to you Colonials) we are still recovering from the September flood. The rail system sustained some serious damage. Now, the trains are limping along on a limited schedule, the waters have receded, and Autumn is here. The sweaty days of summer have been replaced with sweaters and Kürbis Feste (pumpkin festivals). But in a few short weeks, I’ll be winging away to Taiwan, ready to enjoy some warm weather and great new food.

Impending trip notwithstanding, things are buzzing here at the MEF garret. More stories will go live this month. How will you know when a new story breaks free? Glad you asked, Friends. Read On!

Drum roll and… Meanwhile, don’t miss any upcoming stories. You can stay tuned for all the latest by following the MEF blog:

The Best Dark Rain: A Post Apocalyptic Struggle for Life and Love

Seattle is dead. Almost dead. Liz and Pat are the last couple standing. Survival is only half the battle. Living is hard, trusting is harder.

There is precious little room for love in a dead city, a dead world. For not quite everyone died. Better if they had. Armed bands stalk the streets. In the shadows worse enemies prowl, horrible enemies. At the center of this bleak urban waste lies a makeshift fort. It is the refuge of Liz Walker and Pat O’Shea. They are the last living couple in the shell of what was once Seattle.
