I recently received very exciting news from Cutbank, the literary journal of the University of Montana. My short story “Rider” has been selected as the winner of the 2009 Montana Prize in Fiction!
The contest was judged Joy Williams, author of Saving Grace, The Changeling, and The Quick and The Dead. I feel truly honored to be selected for this prize by such a fine literary journal. Here’s the link for more info:

My short story “Home Guard” is up on the Liars’ League site! The story was read by Ben Farrow at the Liars’ League War & Peace event on Tuesday 11 November, 2008 at the Wheatsheaf in London, UK.
Here’s the link:
Liars’ League is a very cool market for short fiction. Each month they call for submissions under a certain theme. For Veterans’ Day (Remembrance Day in the UK), the theme was War & Peace. The stories selected for publication are then performed by one of the League’s more than 70 registered actors. “Home Guard” was performed by an actor named Ben Farrow, who has appeared in High Heels and Low Lives with Minnie Driver and the UK TV series Keen Eddie and Casualty.
I just wish we could have been there for the experience. Alas, the dollar is weak and London far.
My short story “Black Swan” has been published by one of my favorite online literary journals, The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature.
Here’s the link: Black Swan
Note: At the beginning of the story, it says Less Firepower, Perhaps? — that’s NOT part of the story. Rather, there used to be a picture of a broken old wagon wheel there, and Less Firepower, Perhaps was the ALT-text for the image.
