Finding Asmodeus

I have a flash story out in the latest issue of The Quiet Ones. Excerpt:

Cover of Quiet Ones magazine, October 2022. Image: a vampire.
    I lost Asmodeus on Tuesday evening.
    I didn’t mean to release him. When I got him, I promised the housemates I would absolutely keep him under control. (I also swore he wouldn’t destroy a single thing, not even the tiniest corner of the meanest stick of furniture. Fortunately, my room’s furniture didn’t count.)
    Asmodeus defeated me by farting.
-from “Finding Asmodeus”

New story up in Flash Fiction Online

Flash Fiction Online January 2019I’m very excited to have a story appearing in Flash Fiction Online’s January 2019 food-themed issue.

The editor, Suzanne Vincent, on this month’s issue: “This month, we invite you to experience a gamut of emotions—grief, longing, frustration, humor, and one very disturbing peek into codependency–all revolving around our favorite subject—FOOD!” My story, Salt, Spices, Fat, Honey, is the “very disturbing peek.”

Update: Charles Payseur reviewed “Salt, Spices, Fat, Honey” in his review of the issue on his site, Quick Sip Reviews. Thank you for the thoughtful review, Charles!
