The Publishing Games

Truth be told, my Lovely Readers, February was a tough month in submission land. We eked out one acceptance and a maybe. But as you and I know, so it goes. A flood of acceptances is followed by a wave of rejections. In and out, just like the tides.

But wait, there are more stories on the horizon! First, look for another new story this week. Second, I will be doing a live flash reading later this month (another post to follow on that one). Thirdly, there is another story going live March first.

Meanwhile…

How about a collection of short stories to tide you over? Stay strong, be kind, and keep reading!

Orphaned Lies – Collected Stories

The Journey of Orphaned Lies

The fifteen stories contained within these pages tell tales of love lost and love found, of darkness at the end of life, and light at the beginning. Unforgettable characters struggle against the impersonal forces of the outside world, and against the flaws they carry within themselves. There is quiet heroism and unwanted heroes discarded, acts of defiance and of acceptance. The inhabitants of these pages learn who they are, and sometimes, who they are not. Enter here, Reader, and join in the journey that is Orphaned Lies.
