A new short story of mine is just out, the second this month. You can find “Things That Never Happened” in the new issue of Postscripts. It’s the fourth story of mine to be published in that hybrid magazine/anthology.

When the editors asked for a note to introduce the story, here’s what I had to say:

“We’d all like to be forgiven, and we all wish we had the capacity to forgive, but what if true forgiveness was an impossibility? Could we still find a way to grant or receive it anyway? I set up a situation to examine that theme, and came up with a scenario which many of us might someday find ourselves facing, mixed with aspects I hope none will ever have to face anywhere but in the pages of a story.”
