INEVITABILITY, Inevitably.

"It's not my business, but the odds on
Inevitability are astronomical..."

I'm lucky enough to announce my short story, INEVITABILITY is again in publication, this time thanks to the lovely people at Sips Card. Surf on over to http://sipscard.com/stories/ anytime before July 31st to check it out, as well as a great poem, The Reach of a Dock, by Jim Piotrowski. If your local coffee shop isn't a partner in the Sips Card program, then tell them to do so, already. Also a big thanks to graphic artist Kristen Solecki for the wonderful work on the cover illustration. Check out her work at www.kristensolecki.com.

From Pencil to Published

My first published story--Inevitability--went through something near fifteen drafts before it was ready. Just to get a glimpse of my revision process, I thought it'd be fun to take a look at the very first draft (circa April 2004) and the one published (circa April 2010). Click the images to enlarge.

And what it became six years later--"Inevitability."
