Dusting off the old stuff: my first review

So I was searching for A Thousand Faces content and I discovered this site which reviewed A Thousand Faces #2, which featured my first published work, "For What Purpose." And the review itself, while brief, was scathing.

"For What Purpose is the generic superhero monologue every fan’s already read."

And while the reviewer was pretty negative on the issue as a whole, I felt a little shorted in that I got a whole sentence to sum up my story. Although, I have to admit, she was right. If you don't believe me, click on the above link to read the story.

I'm now looking forward to scathing reviews for "The Nature of the Job." Oh, professional writing! The adventures you hold!

A Thousand Faces #6: Fall 2008

If you haven't checked out A Thousand Faces: The Quarterly Journal of Superhuman Fiction, then this is your chance now. Issue #6 debuts online this week, and I have a story published within its pages. "The Nature of the Job" is a little story I worked on early last year, and passed it to Frank Byrns, the editor of ATF. He'd published a story of mine in issue #2, so I crossed my fingers and sent him a piece that was slightly longer than what submission guidelines called for. Thankfully, he's a prince, and said he'd fit it in a future issue. The future is this week, and my second official published story hits the internet (although, I make money if you buy a paperback copy...y'know, just sayin). Give it a look, hope you find it enjoyable.
