A little early for Halloween, but a flash fiction piece of mine, “Words to Live By,” was published in an online magazine titled Danse Macabre.
I always liked this silly little piece about a university professor who is friends with the ghost of a mariner from days gone by. The captain has a fondness for rum and something of a potty mouth. Unfortunately, our hero Amelia also runs afoul of a demon.
This was a lot of fun to write.

I have written book and movie reviews for the late and lamented sites Epinions and Examiner. I have book of reviews of speculative fiction from before 1900, and short works in publications such Mobius, Protea Poetry Journal, and, most recently, Wisconsin Review and Drunken Pen Writing.
I'm busily working away on a book of reviews pulp science fiction stories from the 1930s-1960s. It's a lot of fun.
I am the author of the short story "Always Coming Home," a chapbook of poetry titled "Sotto Voce," and a collection of reviews of pre-1900 speculative fiction, "By Firelight."

It was a very entertaining story. I had fun reading it. Congratulations on getting it published by Danse Macabre.
Thanks, Thomas. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I love this story! You did a great job of weaving the lines of the story to create suspense. It has a lovely touch of humor. And The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is one of my favorite short stories, so I enjoyed how you wove that into the story so perfectly!
Thanks, Vickie! You made my day. I’m glad you enjoyed the piece.
Congratulations! Great story!
Thank you! Thanks for your kind words.
