Short-short Stories & Riddles posted a blog postI Have a Coin
I Have a Coin I have a coin I deem a treasure.One side bears the sign of extinction,And the other, an instance of nature.But it’s not a coin; it’s a seal,And the meaning of this distinctionIs the unbearable sadness I feelWith experience, or with closure. It seems like a double exposure,But the knowledge of impermanenceBleeds into the ideal likenessOf mortality in its eminence—To yield a vibrant pictureOf a creature’s essential brightnessAs it burns for life without censure. --Rob NeufeldSee More

Mark de Castrique posted a blog postHidden Scars - Sam Blackman and Black Mountain College
I don't know if this is true for my fellow writers, but proofing can be the most difficult part of the process. I received the ARC today for October's Sam Blackman Mystery and will begin the last review for typos or formatting errors that have eluded my editor, my copy editor, and myself. Amazing that there is always something that the brain "fixes" and we don't see.Hope springs eternal that the October release will be typo-free. The mystery is set against the historic backdrop of Black…See More

New Book: Commas, piranhas, and more
Hi folks:
The purpose of this posting is to announce the publication of my first (and last?) novel, Fish Food (a novel about life, death, and commas). It's a zany tale about, well, life, death, and commas. Here's the publisher's blurb.
"Michael Um is a grammar-obsessed, hearing-impaired evolutionary biologist who shares his home on Martha's Vineyard with three cats, an irascible parrot, and a tankful of red-bellied piranhas (his wife left him years ago for…
