I wrote this story specifically with them in mind, so I’m really excited. The story involves gator hunting, airboats, drug-smuggling, and of course there’s a gun [...]
My story “Covered Bridge” has been published in the final, “Super Issue” of Porchlight. Check it out here: Covered Bridge. This story was inspired by this river we went to for a picnic just south of Lake Lure. There is a covered bridge there – definitely nouveau, not historic.
“River of Fire,” a short story, has been published at storySouth, one of my favorite online publications. Way back in the day (well…2008), a story of mine was almost published there; it would have been my first story published. So anyways, I’ve been trying to get a story in storySouth since then.

I learned today that “Cajun Reeboks,” originally published at Thuglit, has been selected as one of the Other Distinguished Mystery Stories for the 2010 edition of Best American Mystery Stories. I’m pretty sure that means it won’t actually be published, just listed, but hell I’m honored no matter how it gets in there

A couple people have asked me about the story, especially the title. Well, that phrase “whorehouse piano” was really the seed of the whole story. I came across a band in NOLA who called themselves by [...]
More great news. My short story “Kingdom Come,” a moonshining story I wrote longingly from San Francisco before we moved here to Asheville, has received 2nd prize in the 2009 Open Awards.
Press 53, an indie press out of Winston-Salem that focuses largely on short story collections (and God bless them for that), sponsors the contest. [...]
