“The Key” to be published in Morpheus Tales

One of my favorite stories has found a home. “The Key” will be published in a future issue of Morpheus Tales, a beautiful looking magazine of horror, science fiction and fantasy.

In “The Key” a young man finds a key in his father’s coffin that he hopes can answer the mystery of his father’s difficult life and their strained relationship. Will he find what he is looking for or regret that he ever lay eyes upon the key? You’ll have to wait until 2012 to find out. That’s right 2012! Hey, good magazines have a long waiting list.

In the meantime, while you’re waiting, please check out:

Vampires!

I wrote a vampire story in class this year and amongst the stiff competition of my classmates I actually won a vampire story contest.  This victory, however small, will remain on my mental resume forever.  Anyway, it’s a becomes bit of a comedy piece as it develops and I have finally revised it. I plan on sending it out soon. I sent it out and now it has been accepted for publication.
