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<\/em><\/a>. It’s the fourth story of mine to be published in that hybrid magazine\/anthology.<\/p>\n

\"PostscriptsMemoryvilleBlues\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When the editors asked for a note to introduce the story, here’s what I had to say:<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
