So I have some stuff with publishers for review and I have three flash pieces finished, edited, and being read by friends.
I think I'll start writing another regular length short soon, but I gotta say, the waiting can make you kind of nutty.

Free Horror on Kindle
I don't know how familiar most Kindle readers are with Pixel of Ink, but every Kindle owner should know about it. The website basically informs people of free Kindle books everyday.
Want some stoker award nominated horror for free? Check out The Red Church by Scott Nicholson!
If you are on Facebook you should like Pixel to get updates, if not, you should just go to their website and see the free stuff they can direct you to. It crosses all genres and it's at price that can't be beat.

www.MicroHorror.com
Getting any potential readers up to date, I thought I'd share MicroHorror on here.
Microhorror.com is the first place I was ever published. It is a flash fiction horror website that has been running since at least 2007. Nathan Rosen is the editor at large, but the site features hundreds of writers and possibly thousands of flash fiction stories.
Every year around Halloween the site also hosts a themed flash fiction horror contest open to any writers interested in submitting. Two wonderful things about the site include the length cut-off at 666 words, ensuring that everything is unexpectedly readable. Who can't find a few minutes to read a story? Also as well as it's staying power. I've already noticed a good number of small publications that are "here today, gone tomorrow" affairs. It's great that Microhorror seems to have staying power and reliability.

On a roll....
Things are kind of on a role right now; I've been writing more consistently then ever and that's starting to mean more submissions than ever.
It's really going to suck if it translates to more rejections than ever, but we'll see.
I finished a very traditional ghost story (short) that I sent off to two publishers. I've also recently finished a flash zombie story, which is particularly exciting for me because it is the first in a series of zombie tales I plan to write collectively called (currently) Walking Live Stories.
Today I also plan to submit a reprint to an organization and hopefully write a really small flash piece for submission to another publisher.

Hat Tricks by S.S. Prazak
Here is "Hat Tricks". I thought it would make a nice thing to post at least once on here outside the bibliography, especially since people seem to like videos online. It is the first (and only) fiction I've been paid for. It was bought by Weird Tales magazine, the once publishing home of writers like H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, and Ray Bradbury. I hope you enjoy.
Ann Vandermeer was the editor in chief who initiated the One Minute Weird Tales videos at the magazine and the person who told me (in email) that she "loved" my story. The magazine also earned a Hugo Award under her stewardship.
Welcome
Welcome to my humble blog. Currently I have only tids and bits to offer you, but as time goes on I hope to have more curiosities for you to discover here. Thanks for visiting.
