The latest reading opportunities…

 

Fellow SMFS list member John Timm announced on the list that his short story, The Many Temptations of Owen Jenks, is available in the latest issue of Macabre Magazine. Dedicated to literary horror, the magazine is on an online free read. You can read his short story here.

 

Fellow SMFS list member Jessica Slee announced her short story,  Life’s a Peach, was published at Flash Fiction Magazine. This online free to read publication releases a story a day. You can read her short story here.

 

Fellow SMFS member David Hendrickson announced that his latest mystery, Pain Train, was now out. You may remember my announcement of this project back in early March as he was funding the book through a Kickstarter campaign. That funding was very successful. Published by Pentucket Publishing, the read is available at Amazon and other vendors.

 

Fellow SMFS list member Sandra J. Cady announced that her novel, A Game of Luck: A Sam Roma Detective Mystery, is now out. I first told you about this one in early April when it went up for preorder. Published by Black Rose Writing, the read is available in eBook or paperback formats at Amazon.

 

The latest issue of Black Cat Weekly also came out. Black Cat Weekly #244 has short stories, novelets, and more. You can pick up the latest issue of this weekly, multi genre, magazine here.

 

Also now out is Split Ends: A Psychological Thriller Anthology. SMFS list members, Christine Eskilson (The Woman She Was), Heidi Hunter (Obsession), Debra Bliss Saenger (When the Woods Awaken), and Ed Teja (True Value), all reported on the list as being in the read. Published by Beaches and Trails Publishing, the read is available in a variety of formats at Amazon and other vendors.

 

 

Until next time….

Things are very brutal money wise. Not just with the groceries, gasoline, and more  that is hitting all of us. Scott has not worked in three weeks as there has not been work for him. So, no work means no paycheck, and no income.
