The Scene of the Crime

About that body in Leakin Park....the scene of the crime. Usually they are killed elsewhere and dumped in the park. Not this time. http://tinyurl.com/ce2aps

A Walk in the Park

Went for a walk in Baltimore's Leakin Park on Sunday. Didn't trip over any bodies. Did see a deer near the scene of the photo. That's a wetlands boardwalk, so I could cross dry shod over damp but holy ground. Meanwhile, a few hundred yards away, the Nature Center was burglarized over the weekend by...two enterprising local youths. http://tinyurl.com/2dwhtdy

The Green Eyed Monster at 87

An 87 year-old Miami man shot and killed his 84 year-old girlfriend, whom he suspected of cheating on him. And then, as often happens in these cases, he failed in his suicide attempt. Yes people, it is crazy out there - and sad.

Tough Lit

My story, A Bad Day at the Office, comes back as a reprint in a speclal "Tough Lit" issue of Adventures for the Average Woman.

BSP - Short-Story.me

Ok, so it's a few weeks later than previously advertised, but my short story, Calling Cards, is now up at the Short-Story.me! webzine.

A Friday the 13th publication date fits this story.

Shameless Cross Promotion

Every blog is a form of self promotion, but when other venues publish your work, shameless promotion of those publications is the symbiotic thing to do.

This month I have a triple play promtion of three very different magazines publishing my work.

Urbanite, a Baltimore magazine, has a short nonfiction piece I wrote in it's July issue under the What You're Writing section. If you are local, you can pick up a copy at one of their boxes. If you're not lucky enough to live in Baltimore, you can find it here.

Adventures for the Average Woman, out of Portland, Maine, has my crime/revenge short story, Remember Me, in it's summer issue.

Short-Story.Me a webzine for genre fiction is featuring my noir mystery short story, Calling Cards, sometime later this month.

Shamelss Cross Promtion

Not that every blog isn't some form of shameless self promotion, but when another venue publishes your work, you must return the favor and shamelessly promote them.
it's the symbiotic thing to do. This month I am promoting a triple play.

Urbanite, a Baltimore magazine has short piece of my nonfiction in it's What Your're Writing feature, in the July issue. If your're local, you can pick up a copy at one of their boxes around town. If you are not lucky enough to live in Baltimore, you can check it out here.
