A Word With You Press “One Tight Write” Contest

The kind folks at A Word With You Press have now published all 3 of my drabble (stories of exactly 100 words) contest entries on their website, my latest being a new piece called “Secretly Broken“.  Links to all three can be found in my blog’s sidebar under “My Published Works”.  Two of the drabbles you may remember as NaNo warmup exercises where I had to incorporate a specific list of elements.

A Word with You Press is a terrific site, with very friendly editorial staff.  I encourage all to poke around and read the great stuff that I’ve already found there.
