Chomper stared at the snowy ground, fuming, contemplating revenge. James is going to pay for making me look like some sort of redneck surfer, he thought. He's overdue for a good bite, right on the butt--biting always works. *Written as a response to the Three Line Tales week 96 photo prompt.

The Word for Planet is Asylum — 3LineTales
I feel guilty for not keeping up with the blog. Of course in my defense, there's been a lot going on. Good things, mostly (See: homepage) But still, I should try to do more, lest my writing (and thinking) muscles atrophy. So I'm jumping back in with 3LineTales this week. Here we go! Mancio pulled … Continue reading The Word for Planet is Asylum — 3LineTales
Two New Stories Live
While I've been away working, I received notice from two publishers that my stories are not live on their respective sites. The first is an original Storm Hamilton story I wrote shortly after finishing The Maltese Falcon. I'm sure the influence shows.

New Story on Flash Fiction Magazine
I'll keep this short, since I have things to do--like being horribly sick with a demonic head cold. A new, unreleased story of mine entitled "Innocence Lost, Innocence Found," just dropped on Flash Fiction Magazine. Just in time for Halloween! I'll let the story speak for itself. You can find it HERE. ~J.M.
Ice Ice Raven – 3LineTales
Its name was Ice; of course it was. Kevin held his hand out to the bird, switching on his boombox with the other--Step back, collaborate and listen... The raven's dance moves were uncanny. *Written as a response to the Three Line Tales Week 91 photo prompt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rog8ou-ZepE
Trouble in Paradise – What Pegman Saw
Both cars were out of fuel. Not that it mattered; Kori couldn't drive a car across the ocean. This island paradise she had chosen for her first vacation after losing Derrik had become a prison. No, something worse than that--a slaughterhouse. Hearing a shuffling sound down the road, Kori rolled herself over the road barrier. … Continue reading Trouble in Paradise – What Pegman Saw
A Two for One — 3LineTales
For this week's Three Line Tales I came up with two--rather obvious--responses. You guys can tell me which is better. Here's the first try: Cadriel leaned heavily on the bar, sipping his IPA from a tulip glass--having been around since the creating of beer, he was a bit of a connoisseur--pondering his existence. He set his … Continue reading A Two for One — 3LineTales
