Publication Announcement: “The Slightest of Indiscretions”

Today, my story “The Slightest of Indiscretions” is being published at Fiction on the Web in the United Kingdom.  “The Slightest of Indiscretions” is not horror, but rather more of dark mainstream literature.  It is a about a park ranger who encounters a strange couple, who enter the park’s bookstore, the weird “vibe” he receives from them,

and his very brief but eerie interaction with them.   The story is based in part on a personal experience in 2002.

I would like to thank Charlie Fish for electing to publish this story.  I enjoyed writing it and I believe it is a good story, but I have had a very hard time placing it, probably because of its offbeat nature.

Please drop by Fiction on the Web and check out the story when you have the opportunity.
