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. It was published as part of Akashic Book's new flash fiction series, Fri-SciFi. The … Continue reading Two New Stories Live

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.
A New Story Out in the Uprising Review
My newest story comes to you care of The Uprising Review, whose motto is "Write Fearlessly." Well, I did, and this story quickly became one of my favorites. Unfortunately, many editors did not share my opinion. After revising and resubmitting several times, I finally found a reader who shared my sense of humor and adventure. … Continue reading A New Story Out in the Uprising Review
SHARE: A Seed in the Ground, by Shannon Fay
I've been a fan of Shannon Fay ever since I read her micro story "To Give You the Night Sky." I'm not sure how to classify her as an author. She has several stories in professional publications but no book release. (Many of these stories are with Daily Science Fiction, to which I am jealous. … Continue reading SHARE: A Seed in the Ground, by Shannon Fay

The serpentine body floated atop a pond of tar--except it wasn't a body, only those bits that were left behind after life had faded completely.

So transfixed by the deathly image, he failed to see … Continue reading Death All Around – 3LineTales
The Three Tonys
In the small town where I grew up there was a group of boys that caused no little bit of trouble for our neighborhood. There were three of them--Tony Brown, Tony Murphy, and Tony Lewis. Collectively, we always referred to them as the "Three Tonys." The Three Tonys were all the same age--my age--and went to … Continue reading The Three Tonys
No Trace of the Offense – 3LineTales Week 81
(Photo by Cathal Mac) They gathered for dinner--drinking red wine from crystal glasses--and, his tongue loosened by the drink, Piero spoke his mind. His host showed no sign of concern, only asking for the pizza oven to be lit for the second course. Come morning, even Piero's ashes had be swept away. *Written as … Continue reading No Trace of the Offense – 3LineTales Week 81

One of my flash stories was recently featured on the AntiSF Radio Show. This was one of the first stories I wrote for this blog. The text of the story can still be found on the AntiSF homepage HERE.
