Just Published by miniMag

New Flash Fiction Hot Off the Virtual Presses

Huzzah! New Flash Fiction! My flash story Three Talismans has just been published by the fine folks at MiniMAG. Three Talismans tells the tale of Bridget Chaucer, a librarian charged with a crime and facing judgment. Sad to say, but while this this is a fictional story, the actual events containted herein happen again and again in these days of would-be book-banners and book-burners.

Read Three Talismans

Look for the agenda of censorship hiding behind the fascist lies. These sonsofbitches want to control your thoughts and beliefs. Please, don’t fall for it!
