"Fictional History" published by Bewildering Stories


My short story "Fictional History" was published today by Bewildering Stories.

This story required more than a bit of research, most of which never found its way into the story's final version. That's usually how it works. But having sufficient background knowledge helps keep the relevant content accurate and flowing.

Click on over, give it a read and let me know what you think.

  3. J. Jones, thanks for the encouragement!

    Cher Green, glad you enjoyed the story. It was a tough one find a publishing home for. Had two markets that almost purchased it, but weren't quite happy enough with it.

  6. The story showed the effort you put into the research. It's amazing the small amount of the research that actually goes in the story, but the more you have the more convincing you story is.
