Greetings,
And for the third time in five quarters I am a Writers of the Future honorable mention. I’m always pleased to see the results, it is nice to know I am competitive and close. Now what I need to figure out is how to break into the semi-finalist category. Any suggestions? Anyone? Anyone? You there in the back with the checkered teeth! Vampire gopher erotica you say?

Greetings readers,
I am taking a couple of days off this week, starting now. We have friends visiting and shortly we are going to load up in the van and head west to San Angelo, Texas. That is out on the edge of the Chihuahua desert. We are going to see the red-headed stranger live and in person, second row. For those who don’t know who that is, let me give you a hint.
That’s right, Willie Nelson!
Some of you smile and nod and too many of you probably make a face like you smelled bad milk.
Yes, yes, now you know my dark secret, I like country music. More specifically, I like good singer/songwriters. Willie is a very gifted songwriter and is an all around interesting person.
So while Whiskey river is taking my mind, you crazy cats be good out there. I will be back online this weekend and hopefully inspired to pen a new short story about cowboys hunting down a chupacabra or the like.
Sending you pointy-toed, worm-skin boots,
-Seamus
