New Short Story: “Words May Set You Free”

New Short Story Just Released!

My short story “Words May Set You Free” just went live at the online journal The Writing Disorder. This dark and absurdist morality play sees a group of writers banding together for revenge. This short story is quirky and not a little snarky. I wrote in early 2019 following a string of rejections from literary agents. I like to think of it as a cleansing story. I very much hope you enjoy it.

Huge Shout-Out to The Writing Disorder!

I want to thank the editors of The Writing Disorder for having faith in this story. Given the subject matter of the piece, it is not surprising that it got rejected like a one-eyed, three-legged kitten in a wet cardboard box The editors at The Writing Disorder did not hesitate, so kudos to them. The story is available online and is a free read. How can you beat that? You have the chance to support the literary arts and get a free short story into the bargain: Everyone wins! Here is the link to the front page of the latest issue of The Writing Disorder latest issue.
