IWW Members' Publishing Successes



Rasmenia Massoud

Late last year, my novella Circuits End was accepted for publication in a novella anthology by Running Wild Press. The pub date isn't until December 1st, but I just found out this morning that Circuits End was nominated for the Pushcart Prize. This story did go through the fiction list, a few years ago, one chapter at a time.

So thank you not just for helping me fix the broken parts of the story, but for being so patient with me assaulting the list with all those chapters. Especially Aaron and Wayne, who I'm pretty sure ended up critiquing the entire novella.

Thanks, guys.

A Fatal Folly, the fifth book in my Saydney Riley mystery series, was officially published and is now available on Amazon. Holly Folly is approaching, and Sydney Riley is feeling far from festive.

She hasn’t heard from her boyfriend in weeks, a mysterious stranger has crashed into her beloved “little green car,” and, in a moment of temporary insanity, she’s invited her parents for the holidays. She’s convinced things could not possibly get worse—until she stumbles over a body at the lighting of the lobster pot Christmas tree.

As if this is not enough, when a gold coin and nameplate of a missing fishing boat are discovered, she’s asked to investigate the unsolved mystery of a murdered fisherman. While Provincetown is aglow with holiday lights and events, Sydney, Provincetown’s unofficial sleuth, is in the dark but determined to uncover the motive for both murders.

I haven't been submitting much lately, but here's an old creative nonfiction piece I recently revised and it's in the current edition of the Birmingham Arts Journal. My story begins on page 36.

My interview with Bruce Meyer, a poet, writer and editor, who - with 64 books to his credit - remains one of Canadian literature's best kept secrets, is now online at the Blake-Jones Review. "Just Write the Next One" is a lengthy article but it's filled with miracles, setbacks, tips, advice and inspiration.
