Shimmer magazine, which published my short story, Even Songbirds are Kept in Cages, has revamped its website into quite the sleek beastie. Take a look.
Also, stay in touch with them (eg. subscribe, add to favorites, whatever) because their 10th issue is going to be offered for free in PDF format. It’s got some awesome stories in it, to say the least.

In other news, the first draft of my latest manuscript is done. Clocked in at 90k word count, and is now in the process of going back through and correcting any gaps or obvious errors, adding some character thoughts and emotions, which I tend to underestimate the importance of, and generally streamlining the thing as a whole. Once that’s done, it will get shoved in a drawer for a couple of weeks before revisions start. Then a few chapters will get posted on OWW for feedback.
Pitch line: A cook struggles against the manipulations of a prophet who wants to set him up as a false messiah.
Working title: King of Cooks…(alternative…The Cook Who Wouldn’t Be King)
Already have a working idea for my next project and will be sketching out plotlines over the next month. Always enjoyable when the ideas and words flow.
I see that smile.
Good for you!
90K is a nice chunk of change, my man.
