Two new pieces available soon, one online and one in print.

My first publicly available short story ever, "The Enemy in the Mirror," will be appearing in issues 160 and 161 of Bewildering Stories.  Bewildering Stories is a perfect venue for this particular piece, which is not fantasy, nor science fiction, nor just about any other category I can think of.  If "bewildering" were a genre category, I suppose it would probably fit.  This is a story I wrote many years ago and never did anything with, then just recently pulled out and dusted off.  Issue 160 is not out yet, the current issue is 159.  For those early birds, though, you'll find me in the "In Times To Come" section at the bottom of the contents of 159.

Second, the September/October issue of "Writers' Journal" will carry an article of mine, "Targeting Enemy Words."  My contributor's copy just arrived today, and though the postal service made a pretty mess of the magazine, the article itself looks great.  So I'll be picking up a newsstand copy or two to replace mine when it comes out.

And when September actually arrives, I may or may not have another piece to announce.  So warm hugs and fuzzy back pats all around.
