To Keep the Wound Green – New Literary Fiction

A New Short Story from Literally Stories

To Keep the Wound Green – New Literary Fiction

To Keep the Wound Green – New Literary Fiction for you, my readers, because you are wonderful! My latest story, To Keep the Wound Green, just went live at the great online ‘Zine Literally Stories. To Keep the Wound Green is set in a French village amidst the horrors of World War One. This tale begins and ends with funerals that feature very odd-sized coffins. A young woman dead and there is enough blame to fill the trenches. And behind everything there is a hard patriarch who demands a bloody justice. I want to throw out a huge shout-out and thanks to the wondrous editors at Literally Stories for their continued support of my fiction work.

More Stories Going Live This Month!

The month of March was been the wildest run of accepted stories ever! Ten acceptances came strutting through the hallowed gates last month and April has yielded four more so far. As a result, 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.

If you’re in the mood for a longer read, 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.
