I’ve been horrible about keeping this blog updated through the month of October, but I’m back with some significant news:

My flash piece “The Rising Son” won first place over at Cease, Cows in their 2013 Hallow/Hallowed Contest!  You can read it over here.  Oh, and the finalists were guest-judged by Stephen Graham Jones.  NBD.

It’s a quick read – just a hair over 500 words, I think.  I say that because I had originally intended it to be exactly 500 words and then realized that I only made the mark because I’d left out the word “the” somewhere.  So really, you have no excuse *not* to read it.

If you aren’t familiar with Cease, Cows, you really should be.  Taking their name from a Gabriel Garcia Marquez sentence, they update all the time with some really gorgeous/weird/awesome/indescribable flash pieces.

Check them out!
