Thanks to Practice, I tried my hand at writing an animal story recently. It's up at Foliate Oak: "The Cat's Pajamas."

An old flash, "Good Memories," is up at Golden Visions Magazine online. A longer story, "Cloning Clark," appears in their current print issue. Golden Visions prefers science fiction, fantasy and "mild" horror. They pay for the stories, depending upon the number of words. What's more, I received a check in the mail today, the first day the online and print magazines
became available.

You can read "Good Memories" free online, but I'm afraid you have to pay to read "Cloning Clark," either in print or a PDF version.

Also, an essay I wrote a while back about my choice to retire early is available online at Modern Senior Living Magazine. "Wayne has Left the Building" begins on page 20.

My flash "The Epiphany" is up an Litsnack.

My review of Lost Art, Lost Lives is published in the current issue of ForeWord Reviews. It's an astonishing book of the great Nazi theft of European art, a plunder that is stilling playing out in the courts today. 10,000 more reasons to hate Hitler, as if you needed any more.
