A New Dr. Phil Story Online!

Southern Fried Weirdness

T.J. McIntyre has just e-published my short story "Giant Cicadas and Other Odd Indignities" at his weekly Southern Fried Weirdness Online.

"Giant Cicadas..." was born in the humid heat of East Lansing MI during Week 4 of the 2004 Clarion workshop. Listening to the cicadas that summer, I remembered the racket caused by cicadas in Greensboro NC during the mid-70s and seeing the eerie split open body shells with clear eye lenses of the newly molted cicadas. Alas, that first version did not fair well in that crucible of Clarion, the Crit Circle, crashing and burning as a humorous tall tale. I think I've got it right this time, though. (grin)

Oh For Crying Out Loud

To the Russian spammer who picked on a two year old blog posting to advertise their "Manufacturing sites, advertising..." on MY blog for the entry announcing the e-publication of one of MY stories which happens to be very special to me...

Th-bbbbbbt!

Why did you imagine that your rude behavior would not be noticed? Or allowed? Or not mocked by me?

Go away!

To the few people who actually read my blog -- apologies for intruding.

You'd think that Russian spammers would get the message. That screening and deleting a previous attempt to sneak an ad into a two year old blog posting -- DIDN'T WORK -- and provided you only with being mocked.

Website Promotion

No, I don't want to promote my site on your rotten spammy stupid kattalogi.
