 Yes, I DID write a story about space pirates for the Martinus Publishing writing contest last fall, and yes, it did tie for first place (even though I only turned in HALF a story), and yes, it was accepted for this Space Pirate Anthology, and YES, it's now available in paperback and kindle at Amazon.  Go here!

My story  opens the anthology, so you can read the entire thing in the Kindle preview on Amazon FOR FREE, but if you are intirigued by the other titles (I certainly am), or want to really support Martin, who is an author-centric publisher (the best kind), you can pick up either a real book or a kindle version.]]><![CDATA[ La Belle Dame Sans Merci]]>Wed, 04 Mar 2015 17:58:30 GMThttp://www.whenwealllivedintheforestandnoonelivedanywhereelse.com/publications/-la-belle-dame-sans-merciPicture

Again...]]>Wed, 02 Jul 2014 18:08:36 GMThttp://www.whenwealllivedintheforestandnoonelivedanywhereelse.com/publications/press-1-to-begin-again"When I think about those early human beings, I like to imagine how they communicated with one another. And do you know what I think was the  earliest form of conversation?  The knock-knock joke."

"Press '1" to Begin" was published in Nature's Futures Column back in 2009, and it has been picked up for their second "Best of" Anthology, which will be available as an e-book this summer.

If you would like to read this short-short story, it's here.

I will find a good quote from it later -- and I'm looking forward to see what cover Martin picks out for this one!

Thank you, Martin!]]><![CDATA[2013 Best of Martinus Publishing]]>Wed, 11 Dec 2013 17:20:53 GMThttp://www.whenwealllivedintheforestandnoonelivedanywhereelse.com/publications/2013-best-of-martinus-publishingMy story about a bottled genie who doesn't have the most ideal gift for a rescuer, "Curse of the Bottle," is now included in 2013 Best of Martinus Publishing, available here.  This story was also featured in Quests, Curses, and Revenge this year.

I am really indebted to Martin Ingham this year: he has made it a publishing year for me.  Thank you, Martin!  You are wonderful!

Why, yes.  Yes, I think it does.]]><![CDATA[ "Revenge, Inc." & "Curse of the Bottle"]]>Fri, 03 May 2013 00:43:14 GMThttp://www.whenwealllivedintheforestandnoonelivedanywhereelse.com/publications/revenge-inc-the-curse-of-the-bottlePicture
What's better than having one story published in an anthology?

Two stories! The stories were originally written for the "Spring 2013 Shoot-out," a writing contest hosted by the editor, Martin Ingham of Martinus Publishing.

From "Revenge, Inc."
"And yes, in the next hour, he did receive the whole package: the  handcuffs, the black hood, the delivery to an undisclosed location, the solitary  cement room with flickering neon lighting."

From "Curse of the Bottle"
"I wasn’t quite sure what that all entailed, but I was pretty sure it did not involve screaming and crying like a six year old beauty queen who’d lost to the fat kid."


]]><![CDATA[Forgotten Fairy]]>Wed, 20 Feb 2013 19:54:22 GMThttp://www.whenwealllivedintheforestandnoonelivedanywhereelse.com/publications/forgotten-fairyI've written a few poems, most of them marginal at best, but my favorite was published in the print version of Scavenger's Newsletters, which is where all of us pining writers would go to find magazines to submit to, in the 1990's and just into the new century.  Here is the poem again -- "Forgotten Fairy"

Yes, leopard forest fairies dancing
In the twilight of seasons' passions
Lance of gold, sun-spotted rivers
Love's snowy silk in shadowed slivers
Unseen, unheard, untouched, and merry
This is, yes, forgotten fairy!]]>
