New short story for Halloween!

Wrote this a few months ago based on a fairly simple premise. It’s pretty tame…until perhaps the end. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Ladies and gents, just in time for Halloween, I give you: Bigfoot.

THE DESERT 

Now available on Kindle (and Kindle apps, can be downloaded free to desktops, etc.)

Four teens awake from a party in a remote part of the Sonoran desert to find the house surrounded by hundreds of thousands of venomous creatures.

Here are some links to previously published short stories I wrote. They are either available to order or available free online.  I like to help support these DIY publishers; they put a lot of hard work into these magazines and websites, and I’m eternally grateful to them for selecting some of my work. Publishing here gave me the courage I needed to pursue an agent and my novel writing.
