I just got a story, "Birds in Snow" published at Midwest Literary Magazine. You can read the entire issue, including my story, for free at their site by clicking HERE. Then click on "Magazines" for the May 2011 issue.

It's a funny little story, almost a fairy tale, that I wrote after I inexplicably found a child's tooth on one of our area rugs--and nobody would claim it. It remains an unsolved mystery.

Martin and I had the funniest time ever editing this story, especially when he started play-acting the part of the old man to make a point (apparently, a description I'd written was actually ridiculous when performed). That man makes me bust a gut, especially when he's ripping one of my stories apart :).
