Writer of Kidlit & Weird Stuff
I'm so happy to have a little flash piece in this latest anthology from David Lee Summers' excellent Hadrosaur Productions. Originally published in Daily Science Fiction, "An Averted Tragedy" was partly inspired by a book entitled Form and Meaning in Drama: A Study of Six Greek Plays and of Hamlet by H. D. F. Kitto.
My story was partly the subject of an illuminating coversation I had with my daughter not long ago. The conversation went something like this: "Dad, you should check out this fan fiction." "I'm really not into fan fiction." "But you write fan fiction." "Yeah, I've never written fan fiction in my life." "What was your last story ["An Averted Tragedy"] about?" "It's the story of what happens when Shakespeare's Hamlet and Sophocles' Ajax swap lives." "What are you working on now?" "A multiverse traveler kidnaps Odysseus, Gawain, Antigone, and Grendel, then--" "You write fan fiction." And then she dropped a microphone or something, not sure what that was all about... Anyhoo, Exchange Students is in print and ebook formats on Amazon and at Smashwords: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1885093896 https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1005851
