So if you'd like a shot at getting into the last issue of PWG you'd better hustle.  Here's the guidelines.

Hint Fiction Contest - No Fee Contest

Robert Swartwood has posted a notice that he will be hosting a fourth Hint Fiction Contest this year.  Hint fiction is "25 words for fewer that suggests a larger more complex story".  The contest opens on April 1 and ends April 30.  Submissions will be at Mr. Swartwood's website so you'll have to check back on April 1 when the contests opens.  There is no fee to enter and prizes are $100, $50, and $25 plus other gifts.

Akashic Books - Call for Autistic Artist's Artwork

Wolf on Water Publishing - Novella Call

I ran across Wolf on Water Publishing over at Duotrope.  They're looking for novellas of 10,000 to 15,000 words in the genres of sci-fi, horror, experimental, and anything punk.  They also have a horror anthology call with the title "Specter, Shade, Visitor, Blade".  You can find the submission details for both here.

There is no mention of payment for either call so that is something you should query before proceeding.  There is also no mention of who is in charge of this enterprise but there are a few books already published (could be the owners).  My biggest concern here is that they title themselves as Wolf on Water Publishing Services so before you agree to anything be sure that you're not footing the bill.  I hate having to add cautions but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Ethics in Fiction: Don't Glamorize Murder by Deborah J. Ross

Deborah J. Ross has written a very thoughtful piece on how not to glamorize murder in stories.  As crime writers we tend to drop bodies all over the place without considering the consequences to the survivors or even those doing the killing.  Some writers even enjoy pouring the blood and guts all over the page, the grosser the better.  So maybe it's time to sit back and consider writing your stories from another angle?  Food for thought.

The Last Brother

My Uncle Rex passed away this last week.  He was the youngest of my grandparents ten children.  The baby of a large and boisterous family.  He was eighty years old and lived a full and joyful life.

One of my earliest memories of him starts with my five foot tall grandmother standing in the living room of her house beating on the ceiling with the broom handle and shouting for Rex to wake up.  Then she'd send us upstairs to get him out of bed.  But don't get too close, he comes up swinging.  So we'd stand at the end of the bed and holler until one of worked up the courage to grab the blanket and yank it off.  He’d sit up and growl until we all ran away then go back to sleep.

Rex was the quietest of the brothers.  I expect because he was twenty years younger than the oldest and most of the uncles were out on their own by the time he came along.  He was only ten when they were all off to fight in World War II.  He joined the Army when he was old enough and was stationed in post war Germany.  Always running to catch up to his big brothers.

He had a very warped sense of humor.  He’d send my sister and I up to Floyd’s ( a restaurant that sits on the edge of Route 11 and still stands today ) to buy him a pouch of Red Man Chewing Tobacco and a pack of Parodi Cigars.  With a big smile, Floyd would always ask if these were for us or Uncle Rex and we’d giggle because we all knew exactly who they were for.  I asked Uncle Rex once what the Red Man tasted like.  I loved the smell of tobacco and still do.  He told me it tasted like bubble gum and gave me pinch then laughed as I stood there spitting the vile tasting stuff out of my mouth.

My uncles were the family storytellers and I loved to sit in a dark corner of the front porch where I could hide in the shadows and listen to them spin their yarns.  Each trying to out brag the other.  Now they’re all gone and I like to imagine them sitting on God’s porch and spinning their tales for the angels, though I expect they’ve probably cleaned up their language a bit in that heavenly presence.

If I were to write a story about a family of bothers my Uncle Rex would be the dark one, the one who would be there to settle the score, and make things right.  There was a family rumor that the Vice Principal of our school carried a golf club when he took his evening walks because my uncle had threatened him after an unpleasant encounter during my uncle’s senior year.  I thought it was one of the family’s tall tales until I actually saw the man many years later walking along the side of the road carrying his nine iron.  My uncle’s legacy - fight for what you believe in.

Good bye, my dearest uncle, you’ll be missed but never forgotten.

The Dead Are Not by Stephen Graham Jones

The newest issue of Bourbon Penn is live and contains a story by Stephen Graham Jones called "The Dead are Not".  Now, I took the time to read this story because I've heard a lot of people raving about Jones' work.  His writing is beautiful and he kept me reading but I felt like something was missing.  He did keep me thinking about the ending and wondering about the characters which is a good thing for a story.

The truth is I've come across this a lot lately, those stories that are beautifully written but don't seem to tell much of a story.  Or stories that suck you in but leave you feeling empty when you finish reading them.  I enjoy the writing but I want more.  I want story with a beginning, a middle, and an end that actually goes somewhere and accomplishes something other than being beautifully written.  What about you?  Do you care if a story has a satisfying ending or do you enjoy stories that leave you hanging off the edge of a  story cliff? 

The Exile Book of New Canadian Noir - Call for Submissions

I'm Back

My apologies for being off the grid for so long.  Last week a car took out an electric pole on our road which shut off the lights and my computer which was on at the time.  After booting up the next morning I discovered that my computer no longer liked either Blogger or Google and refused to let me in to either site.  It's still having fits with the Twitter feeds.  Finally, last night it relented and allowed me access to the blog.  I don't know how long this will last so if I disappear again, know that I will return.

And as soon as I can, I'll be getting a new computer and hopefully all these problems will go away :)
