Short Story Finished

Doing Some Short Fiction Again…

Reason is pretty simple. I only have enough short stories left of the stories I want to put in Smith’s Monthly to last a few more issues.

I have about a hundred or so stories (some sold) in my files, but most of them are from what I call my “Horror Period” when I was getting nominated for Stoker Awards. I have nothing at all against horror, just not who I am as a writer anymore. I have put in Smith’s Monthly a few from that period, but most are just too brutal for even my tastes. Back in the Splatterpunk days was another world.

So today I found an unfinished story I had started called “Taste” that is just head-shaking rude and I finished it. Kind of fun.

August was a month I only got about 25,000 words of fiction after that monster month of July. Just too much business and real world slammed into the month. You know, things like buying a bookstore. (grin)

So figured I would make the first day of September a new start and get some writing in. Felt good and honestly, not sure why I never finished this story other than I might have figured it was too rude for anything at the time. And not enough sex for the sex magazines I was selling to at the time. But it will fit perfectly in the strange nature of Smith’s Monthly.

And speaking of Smith’s Monthly, subscribers and Patreon supporters will be getting three more issues shortly.

And in the upcoming Kickstarter for Pulphouse Fiction Magazine, we will have a reward where you can subscribe to Pulphouse, Fiction River, and Smith’s Monthly. All at the same time. The Pulphouse Kickstarter will start in a week or so. I shout the start here. And give details.
