Filed-Down Sights – A New Short Story

Filed-Down Sights – A new short story for you, my wondrous readers! My latest short story, Filed-Down Sights, just went live at Prime Number Magazine. Filed-Down Sights is the story of a hard woman, a one-eyed dog, a thief, a revolver, and memory. This is the third story in my Old Talk Trilogy. Huge thanks to the editors at Press 53 and Prime Number Magazine, and a special thanks to guest editor Dennis McFadden for choosing my story.

I am very excited to have this story published. This particular story is very special to me. Bonnie is the name of the main character. She and I have been on a long journey together. I was and am sorry to let her go.

More Stories Coming Soon…

The month of March has been the wildest run of accepted stories that I have experienced to date. Ten acceptances came strutting through the hallowed gates, nine for short stories and one for a stage-play! With that said, expect many more stories going live in the coming months. It goes without saying that you should stay tuned to the MEF posts and newsletter for updates and publishing announcements.

I truly hope you like this latest story. If you do enjoy the character of Bonnie, she appears in two previous stories: Old Talk and A Breach in the Wall. In the meantime, stay healthy in these strangest of times. Thanks for being readers. Be Happy, Be Well, Be the World You Imagine! And hey, a major shout-out to my readers just for being you. Readers Rock!!

Or how about a novel to help pass the Time of Corona? Here is a link to my latest book, “Breaking the Bundles.” This great conspiracy novel is available at fine online booksellers.

Breaking the Bundles

Keep reading, stay healthy, be kind, and Ciao for Now!
