As an editor with a fledgling journal and a lot of passion for connecting with other writers, I like to send feedback with my responses to submissions, be they rejections or acceptances. I do this for many reasons, the strongest of which is simply that when I receive a response, especially a rejection, I like…

This post almost did not get made, all thanks to a cat on my lap. When there is a cat on your lap, and your laptop is in another room, more often than not you decide that a Monday Morning Reset post is not the most important thing in the world. You’re gonna let that…

While I can’t really complain too much, 2017 so far has not at all turned out the way I had envision when I set my goals and began to pursue them in January. And that’s okay. Having goals and deadlines and sticking with them is important and whatnot, but it’s also important to be flexible…

Here I sit, doing my Monday Morning Reset, on a Monday that I actually have off. When I started this little weekly evaluation and refresh, I was regularly having Mondays off, so it just made sense, because I had the whole day ahead of me to wrangle some stuff into order and get my shit…

Today, we say good-bye to Adam L. Bealby’s delightfully brilliant “A Comedy of Edwards,” but don’t worry. You can still enjoy it in World Unknown Review Volume III, and, besides, that just means we get a new story to tide us over through March. Also featured in WUR Vol. III, “To Catch a President” is…

It’s still hard to believe that it’s already March. This winter in general has been a weird one, as Chicago sits through unseasonably warm temperatures.

Well, today is a very interesting Monday indeed. I usually really look forward to Mondays, because it’s the start of a new week, the start of a new book, and a bunch of other things for me to focus on for the week ahead. This Monday, though, I woke up feeling like utter crap. I…

After trying to get to it for several months, I was finally able to read through my copy of Potters Field Six: Tales from Unmarked Graves, a collection from Alban Lake Publishing, that I was proud to be a part of. When I came across the submission call, I was definitely intrigued. They were looking…

I am very pleased to announce that the special Women in Horror Month edition of The Siren’s Call eZine is currently ready and available for free download. Of course, my excitement stems mostly from the inclusion of my flash fiction, “The Old Barn Door,” but it’s also just a really great publication worth your time…

February is much, much too short. It’s hard to believe that it’s almost done and over with, which means there’s only about a week left to enjoy the first featured story from 2016’s World Unknown Review, “A Comedy of Edwards.” Then it’s onto the next great story, but, until then, I’d love to present this…
