Spillwords’ nomination

For the second time I’ve been nominated for “Author of the Month” at Spillwords. Though several of the names on that short list have a considerable following on Spillwords (you have to log in to vote), I am quite honored to have at least been mentioned.

This morning my shorts have been tucked into their drawers for the season – frost on the neighboring rooftops was the straw that broke the camel’s back with regard to my hanging on to summer (or at least fall).

Ugh!

The Traveling Whispers

My poor story, “Whispers,” was originally published in 2013 on a great little site called “Postcard Shorts.” Sadly, the site shut down a few years later, and after a bit I moved the story to another little flash site called “Fewer Than 500.” Earlier this year, Fewer Than 500, too, shuttered its virtual doors and once again poor little “Whispers” has had to move. So, I gave it a little touchup, after all, it is ten years old now, and republished it on Friday Flash Fiction. I only hope I haven’t doomed them as well!!
