Yellow Mama #16


16 is my lucky number, and today issue #16 of Yellow Mama hit the cyber-streets with a vengeance.

I have a story in this issue called Dog. But before you rush to read the story (ha ha) indulge me for a moment while I tell you a little tale about this one.

I wrote this story many many moons ago. It was accepted many many moons ago. But it wasn't your usual acceptance. It was actually rejected at first. Flat out. And I was chastised, politely, for thinking that I could submit a story about bestiality. After some head scratching and a friendly exchange of emails, the story was accepted. With laughter.

Anyway. I'll shut up now. Yellow Mama is badass. It's named after an electric chair for cry eye. Check it out.

....bad haiku and news not involving me coming soon. Promise. I'm getting sick of me too.

"Broken Beautiful" is awesome. And the transitions are really clever. You're blowing up the spot right now. Digging 'Hamper' and 'Dog." Keep pumping out the goods...
